so "NESmaker" came out (one of those game development tools for non-programmers) and there's a thread on nesdev asking if people are worried about it bringing "lazy noobs" to the scene

which is a thing you could apply to, like, literally any software ever made? the whole point of programs is to make it easier to do things. "uhhhhh more people should make NES homebrew but it should also be completely impenetrable to most people who don't enjoy programming like it's the 1980s"

Look, you may not want to admit it, but we all know programming went downhill as soon as we moved away from punched cards.
