Programmer Caste System
I stumbled upon an interesting post showing the hierarchy of programmers. Actually, it is the hierarchy of programmers as they themselves perceived to be. Note that the arrows indicate the perceived superiority. As for the top-bottom layout, I could not come to any conclusion any ranking level.
Source: Programmer Hierarchy …
I do agree that HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language, or in my terms, a formatting script. This includes CSS as well. Any programming language should be able to at least support iteration and selection. None the less, this doesn’t mean that HTML and CSS are easy. Only less logical visualization involved.
And so “who” is the superior programmer? In my opinion, there is a suitable tool for every job and there is a suitable programming language for every task. A good programmer will be equipped with multiple tools with a sound judgment on the correct tool/tools to use for task at hand. Me? I am novice who begin to see that the more I learn, the less I know. Have fun programming!

>I do agree to /some/ extent that HTML and CSS are /not/ programming languages. However I feel as if, in some bizarre way, they are incomplete or ‘primitive’ programming languages. I cannot explain it, but I somewhat fell that they should be included, even if just barely or partially; they do “program” webpages after all. As a user and fan of both of these languages, I am a bit biased, despite my best attempts to be impartial.
>I hope everyone understands that despite my favor for these languages, I am not stating that they are programming languages because I think they’re ‘awesome’. Merely a statement as to how I see things.
