> What if you have never cooked at home but all the time in a commercial kitchen? That's the reality for most of us here so it is a bit difficult to relate to this article.

Really? I'd hazard a guess that the majority here (> 50%) have never worked at a commercial kitchen!

I'm honestly curious to understand why you think most people here must have worked at commercial kitchen and never cooked at home?

The poster is speaking through the analogy: they mean most people here have coded professionally but not at home. I'm not sure I agree with that, I think a lot of programmers have done hobby projects, even if only when they were starting out.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion! That comment makes total sense now and not as baffling as it first looked.

The idea that there are devs who did not do fairly extensive home coding is so alien to me! I don't personally know a single dev like that, and it would never have occurred to me that they exist.
