Is it that nairaland don't value programmers

Out of the single-thousand Nigerians I met throughout my university years only three could program. If this statistic is followed into the real world it would make Nigerian programmers one out of every 150 or more individuals; a small number to build anything tangible on.

A programming thread hit front page a day or two ago, the low amount of responses must've discouraged whoever posted it from repeating the same action.

Pretty much what Charix said. You would be only catering to a very small population

Because it's not gonna put laughter in our mouths nor money in our bank accounts..

You're right

The truth is that.. if I wasn't a programmer and I see a programming thread on FP...I'll be like

It wouldn't even be good. People will start filling the comment section with not so clever thoughts.

@OP, this is why you need to go to gdevit.com today!! there programming topics make FP.

Short answer: Because there are no Frontpage worthy Threads in the Section.

Topics here still make front page, it's just that it happens once a year. The last topic was a week ago, so the next 1 to make fp should be next year.

I don't want it to reach FP, because you will invite unintelligent people and dullards.

LOL... but don't let a non-programmer see this ooo ...if they do, it will be the cause of what @flexispy said earlier!
