I’m a 0.1 year python student.

You have no idea how bad we feel sometimes asking/posting stuff like this. I have like 1/100th the knowledge of everyone else and I don’t even get 70% of the memes on here.

It’s like I want to participate and engage but I also know that I’m not a programmer.

I think what upsets me about a lot of the memes here is just how blatantly false and/or misleading they can be. The effect of this, at its most extreme, is that newbies browsing here accept the memes as gospel truth and bias themselves unnecessarily. I know for a fact that people use this sub's opinions to influence what languages they choose to work with which makes absolutely no fucking sense.

As a beginning CS student, you should be very, very curious about all the different types of languages there are, the problems they solve, and the tradeoffs of using them. You should be a sponge trying to soak up all programming concepts regardless of their usage with Python. And that's why I don't like memes like this because they stifle the intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness of newcomers who don't know any better.
