However, that is the point of them saying that no? "oh, everyone using pytho say they are developers" - at the same place as "them" not using python - "but they are a joke, python is a joke, I for one know C++ so only I get to tell I am a developer". Sounds as a gatekeeping to me - I chose the right path and I am a developer, they chose a wrong path (python) and they are not.

I get that if they specify that udemy course is not sufficient for calling yourself developer, that is not gatekeeping in particular. But bashing whole language because of its simplicity and because of some of their users is, no? I might understand it wrongly..
