Code is for humans. The machines only understand pulses of electrons. Your job is not to code, your job is to make machines do things. Code is just your means of communication with the machines. It's the tool, not the job itself.
- gmjosack 12y agoThough the job description certainly has requirements for how to code. And knowing a common language allows quick and efficient collaboration among your team members. So I'd say it is your job to know how to code in order to solve a problem that the business has.
- kyllo 12y agoYes, but details like common language, coding style, etc are all rules that humans have made up in order to aid communication with other humans. They are part of the job only insofar as you need to work together with other humans. The machine does not know or care about those things at all.
