I would like to share my perspective.

The practice of programming by combining and building upon code that others have written is fundamental to the ethos of open source and collaboration in general, whether in public or private projects. It is not a mark against anyone that they haven’t written every single line of code themselves.

Leveraging the strengths of others is often a wise approach, and it is at the heart of effective teamwork.

There are various skill levels in coding, and I believe it's important to respect each of them rather than dismissing anyone as 'not a programmer.'

We should also be cautious with phrases like 'Back in my days...' as they can often reflect a longing for the past rather than an objective assessment of the present. Every generation brings its own strengths and challenges, and it’s essential to view them with clarity rather than nostalgia.
