Just to give the benefit of the doubt, I don't think they actually think you type in binary, I think "1s and 0s" has become a colloquialism used to refer to "programming languages" or in some cases "digital magic I don't understand." They just don't know the words python, javascript, html, bash, rust, c, c++, c#, F#A# infinity, etc.

I hope.

I took programming in highschool with Turing. As far as I know that's how every computer program works

Copy/paste someone else's code into your own project then play games/watch anime for a while.

I think programming can be a pretty dull task, where you spend hours over hours copy-pasting fragments of code from former projects and/or from other sources, adjust it to your needs, run it, remove the bug, run it again and find the new ten bugs over and over again.

But you get to wear a black hoodie and a mask.

Stressful as shit. Because if you're not overworked then you're laid off

whack-a-mole, but in the Matrix

that's why i stuck with the creative side :P the only IT i do is at home.

One minute coming up with a feature, ten minutes coding the most basic version, potentially infinute minutes improving/fixing bugs, -6 hours despairing over time zones. (I had an IT class in my last 2 years of school)

Lots of copying and pasting from github.

Adding powdered sugar to a donut?

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