as someone who likes Words and Terms for things, thank you. It has always rubbed me the wrong way that blockchain enthusiasts use code as a verb. This may sound strange but I find I only use “code“ as a verb for people who do not work in tech to describe what I do. Even introductory programming materials, if you look at them, always say “learn to code,” or “coding,” which I always feel amateur saying. If it’s someone I work with or who even just works in tech, it’s always more specific. Don’t know if this makes sense in the slightest but thanks regardless for the link.
- nomoreplease 5y agoI don’t know. I code and I don’t think it’s weird to use code as a verb. After all, I might be coding right now.
