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)

      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
