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)

    They’ve probably seen Assembly code and that looks quite like binary if you don’t pay much attention.

      I feel like if you don’t know any different assembly will look like any other programming language. Just a bunch of words on lines that you don’t understand.
