- liability 7y agoThat might actually be a worthwhile article that helps programmers communicate effectively with non-programmers. One that tripped me up a few years ago: non-programmers think that 'strings' are long fiberous things that cats play with. The connection between the word 'string' and the concept of text is not intuitively obvious to people who don't already know the lingo. Seems obvious now, in retrospect.
