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.

    When things get really tough, two of you will double up on the same keyboard.

    1 in 6 have multiple personalities and substance abuse daemons.

    Your bosses ride little skateboards everywhere, when they’re not busy programming animated singing viruses.

    The FBI watches you code, but has no idea what they’re looking at.

    A significant fraction of you can type with your feet, proficiently.

    I guess you write a bunch of gibberish, press execute and hope something happens?
