Programming is the easy part, and a useless skill on its own.
If you can only program in one language, you can't program.
C++ is the single best language to learn programming.
Stupid mistakes you make are not bugs, at least not for you.
What? Even if design and implementation are also important that doesn't mean programming is useless on its own, and I would say that if your goal is to create a program then programming is probably the most important skill you need.
This some kind of weird gatekeeping? If I get hired to program in Python, and know no other languages, I am still a programmer.
Says who? What's your goal of learning a programming language? This is a silly statement.
Bugs are bugs regardless of who fixes them.
I guess it was some good hot takes after all.
(And I agree with all you counter points)
