Just a thought - looking at it another way, "code", in the popular zeitgeist, has an association with rigid, unchanging processes. I feel like perhaps, the sentiment comes from that? Like, even if you're just implementing bubble sort in Python - a rigid, simple algorithm - there are so many ways to express that algorithm. In a sense, it may be closer to English, or other written languages, than many non-programmers expect.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoThe very use of the term "code" is part of the problem, I think. Among the general populace, it conjures up images of complicated symbols that are purposefully obfuscated to keep their underlying meaning a secret.
