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)

        I, too, thought it was interesting they considered programming as the IT industry. I mean, sure, you may use scripts once and a while, but that’s very different from a software developer, or someone else who works with/writes code for a living.

      There’s a decent number actually, going by Lemmy.ca census results (which will be posted as soon as we can).

      The largest group is programmer/IT, but there’s lots of variety nonetheless
