You should be THANKING Developers Who "Gatekeep"

DonTheDeveloper Podcast

In this video, I’m going to dive into one of the most controversial topics in the developer community—gatekeeping. I know it’s a term that gets thrown around a lot, usually with a lot of negativity. But today, I’m here to tell you why you should actually be thanking developers who are accused of gatekeeping the industry.
I’m not here to sugarcoat things. If you’re struggling to break into the industry and blaming it on so-called gatekeepers, you might need a reality check. The truth is, these developers aren’t keeping you out—they’re setting a standard that will push you to become better. I’ll share four solid reasons why their tough love is exactly what you need to hear if you’re serious about becoming a successful developer.
Whether you’re frustrated by the high expectations or feeling overwhelmed by the amount of learning ahead, this video will help you understand why embracing these challenges is essential for your growth. It’s time to stop complaining and start appreciating the developers who hold you to a higher standard, because they might just be the ones who care about your success the most.
