Oh, great, soon we'll have people with coding degrees whose entire output is "Hello World" in Python and six dozen pomo world salads about oppression of the proletariat of color.

whose entire output is "Hello World" in Python

Not even that much. Copy-pasting some old tutorial and then thinking this is the correct output:

  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print "Hello World"
                      ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Hello World")?

They're so clueless, they're doing it in the shell.

"Hello World"

'Hello world'

"I DID IT! I'M A PROGRAMMER!"

well in my college you could get a computer science degree without programming. You just had to take the business modules.

They are already removing terms like "blacklist" and "master/slave" from the terminology. Cowards, all of them!
