This feels like flame-bait.

As someone with a background in philosophy of language, the idea that i can write a program in python instead of C is basically my barrier for entry.

I learned first-order logic, and I don't have a degree in CS.

Does that make me a bad coder? Maybe. I can still apply my knowledge of logic to solve a lot of problems that someone who spent years learning C instead of studying mathematical logic can't.
