Let me share a conversation I had with a family friend a bit ago:
she peers over my shoulder at my monitor, which has (let's say) a screenful of some Ruby on Rails app in Sublime Text
Her: "Is that... code?"
Me: "Yep, that's right. It's the code for a web site."
Her: "Wow, your code is so beautiful!"
Me (surprised): "Really? What makes you say that?"
Her: "All those lovely colours! I didn't know you were so artistic - did you do the colours yourself?"

- erikbye 10y agoRight. Actually had something similar happen. An acquaintance of mine glanced at a monitor with Sublime and Monokai theme (don't like it, just happened to be on) and went "Wow, that looks really heavy [as in complicated], cool colors too!" Obviously it was nothing "heavy", just code, but all code would have looked complicated to him.
