Geohot once said in his streams that CRUD developers ( people working on frameworks like Ruby on Rails, React or something similar ( I'm assuming Django as well ) ) aren't even real developers. They are mere translators and that bootcamps basically just teach you these frameworks that make you a translator between `input -> system -> output`, a job that'll be replaced to some extent by AI in the future. He also compared CRUD devs to those who wrote news by hand before the printing press.

How correct are these opinions? My recent work includes a large Django project with multiple components for an SaaS I'm building and that got me thinking, is this even real coding? Idk Geohot took a toll on me I suppose. I mean I'm not particularly restricted to a framework per se, I just like to use whatever the right tool/technology is to get an objective done.

Either way, would love to have some opinions flowing.

From my own experience, I've found repl.it extremely misleading on their end when they claim to cater both beginners and advanced users. I really don't see how anyone manages to build a project using repl.it. All repl.it is doing ( it's not about remote code dev, VSCode has that plus it's got LiveShare too ) is hindering the learning process of new developers by depriving them of tools like vim, tmux and other such tools that make them way more productive.
