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)

    You learn a special type of Spanish and somehow you make MS Word come out

      This one is the closest, IMO!

      Is it common knowledge that programmers write code in different “languages” (e.g. Java and C++)?

        My god, that’s terrible. Programmers from different countries must never understand each other. Someone should create a single programming language to rule them all ! something easy to understand, ideally -that everyone could read and write easily. Something like Espéranto, but with 1s and 0s
