This whole mystifying programming may be good for the ego but its not real. Anyone sufficiently interested can learn programming, and even work as a programmer without a degree and the 3-4 years of education and training other professions require. And programming is not particularly difficult, people learn for more than 16-20 years of their life. Those interested will pick it up. There is something seriously wrong in the tech community when many are quick and even eager to think of others as stupid. This is not only immature but its disconnected from reality. I think many should spend compulsory time with kids to understand how truly wonderful the human brain is. |

There is no hard data I could find but I would guess* that the average programmer probably has a higher IQ than 100. So if we define "stupid" as "not as smart as oneself" then this belief is probably somewhat true.
*Having worked with a lot of different kinds of programmers and having also worked with the general public.
