    It's a culture that fosters "I know what I'm talking about better than you", even though there's no right way to handle any situation considering it's a concept that never ends. Codebros compare lines of code like its penis size

Yup. The elitism is ridiculous. I'm not in comp sci but I do a lot of stats and some ML here and there in R and Python. My code isn't the most beautiful thing in the world but it gets the job done. I know not to bring this up with computer science majors anymore because they just go crazy. From the way they talk you'd think I'm literally Hitler for programming without having a CS degree.
