Programming Communities Guard the Door

Description

The meme asks, "Parents: Why do you want to be a scientist when you're so good at programming?" Below, the left panel labeled "Science communities:" shows a smiling woman with the subtitle "Come on in!" while the right panel labeled "Programming communities:" shows a dark, tense scene with the subtitle "You shouldn't be here." The technical context is not about syntax or tooling but about developer culture: programming communities are portrayed as more gatekeeping and hostile than adjacent scientific communities.
