No it doesn’t. It’s dead easy to get a decent level, and going further requires individual effort and skill—-just like any other field of endeavor.

Gatekeepers who claim otherwise have something to sell.

How can it be gatekeeping when they are literally making it easier to use? The analogy is probably closer to a Linux distro. You can put everything together yourself but if someone gives you a pre integrated environment with best practices it makes it easier to get started

  • How on earth does this compare to a Linux distro? What are you even talking about here?

    • I see a Linux distro as a collection of libraries that someone puts together following best practices and conventions (ie all config files go into /etc). The similarity with this project is that Microsoft has taken a collection of tools and best practices and put them together in an easy to install package
