If you’ve been programming for 30+ years, you definitely don’t fall under the category of “non-programmers”.

You have decades upon decades of experience on how to approach software development and solve problems. You know the right questions to ask.

The actual non-programmers I see on Reddit are having discussions about topics such as “I don’t believe that technical debt is a real thing” and “how can I go back in time if Claude Code destroyed my code”.

People learning to code always have had those questions and issues though. For example, “git ate my code’ or “I don’t believe in python using white space as a bracket so I’m going to end all my blocks with #endif”
