To those not in the IT industry, what do you think programming is like?
I've always been curious as to what "normal" people think programming is like. The wildest theory I've heard is "typing ones and zeroes" (I'm a software engineer)

Canβt be that many on Lemmy at this point.
There are ones of us! Ones!
... and zeroes ! ones and zeroes !
I'm not in IT...
...but I did earn a degree in Computer Science.
I, too, thought it was interesting they considered programming as the IT industry. I mean, sure, you may use scripts once and a while, but that's very different from a software developer, or someone else who works with/writes code for a living.
I don't even code for a living, I wait tables.
There's a decent number actually, going by Lemmy.ca census results (which will be posted as soon as we can).
The largest group is programmer/IT, but there's lots of variety nonetheless
