Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn’t want to change it. I don’t think I can walk by her desk while she’s working ever again.

What have you got?

    You’re tripping on the “coding” thing. Two different things, coding is all encompassing to scripting AND programming, whereas programming would consist of programming languages only. I’d rather someone call it “coding” instead of “programming” if they don’t know. Not like the average non-IT person walking by should be expected to know you’re using e.g. C++, not bash.

      There’s no firm delineation between scripting or programming. In many cases it boils down to “scripting is when you program in a language I deem lesser” which is just rude.

      Coding is just the old timey word for encoding. I.E. basically doing what an assembler would do automatically these days. Any programming language in common use involves much more than that and deserves to be called programming.
