That might explain it; I mostly have heard "computer codes" (pluralized with an 's' at the end, rather than treating 'computer code' as a non-granular catch all for any amount of written code, much like a liquid; "water" is any amount of water, since it requires greater definition to talk about the singular, is it a drop, a molecule, etc. And referencing "waters" is an archaic reference to separate bodies of water, more commonly replaced with 'seas' or 'oceans' or similar) from Indian programmers, and there fairly frequently. Maybe it's an academic influence from Britain, that has gotten dropped with the British programmers I've met, but still influenced the schooling of the Indian ones.
