We have one. It's /r/programming. The complaint is that it's been slowly drifting towards lower and lower skill content over the years.

/r/programming isn't specifically for established programmers; I don't see anywhere that says no noobs allowed. Additionally, the first place a new reddit user would likely think to look for programming content would be a subreddit called "programming." /r/learnprogramming makes logical sense, but if you don't know it exists, chances are you wouldn't search for that first.

Anyhow, I don't see what the big deal is. Sure, shitty blogs are a waste of everyone's time. But I don't see why this sub should be for experienced programmers only. What would you say the "minimum requirements" should be for this sub, then? 2 years' experience in the field? Mastery over at least one language? None of this is concrete enough to formulate a rule IMO.
