This sounds like The Computer Chronicles in 1985...

Maybe back then "real programmers" didn't use menus but then
also came the whole desktop paradigm with Apple (Finder) and
Windows so by now there are many, many skilled programmers
that use menus all the time and they don't even know other
skilled programmers have the habit, and perhaps takes some
small pride in, not using menus!

It is just a matter of style ... doesn't say anything
about skill.

Like they say, you have to be a bit modest, because somewhere
on the planet there is a coder who is more skilled than
you. Ha.
