I’ve always been curious as to what “normal” people think programming is like. The wildest theory I’ve heard is “typing ones and zeroes” (I’m a software engineer)

    That sounds ridiculous. It 2024, I’m pretty sure programmers just use voice input and say the ones and zeros instead of sitting there and doing all that typing. Still not sure why they have to wear black hoodies though.

        Yes, and under the hoodies there are t-shirts that were given out at conferences. That or memes. Strict.

      You young’uns don’t know how good you have it! In my day we had to chisel the ones and zeros by hand!
