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)
8 hours of meetings and 10 minutes of writing code.
When I was an associate level all I did was grind out tickets and write code. Now I run from meeting to meeting as a senior.
It involves a lot of tall girls in thigh high socks, sometimes they wear cat ears too. And they do a lot of typing on extra clackity keyboards.
Don’t be a bigot. Tall girls are awesome.
*(Also in case you weren’t being a bigot and were instead referring to what it’s really like to work in tech: I do know industry isn’t entierly cat girls in coding socks but most of the computers for career people I’ve known have been, so I choose to believe.)

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.
Can’t be that many on Lemmy at this point.
I, too, thought it was interesting they considered programming as the IT industry. I mean, sure, you may use scripts once and a while, but that’s very different from a software developer, or someone else who works with/writes code for a living.
