I always have the same reaction when I watch threads on /r/learnprogramming. I believe it's due to "programming" attracting people who want quick money (without having no interest whatsoever in programming languages or computers), the hype of the Web2.0 and the scams created by all the so-called bootcamps who promised all those things.

I've been writing C++ on every OS for the past 20 years and still don't consider myself a good programmer. I read every day to improve myself though but I still have a lot to learn.
