As someone who spends time programming, I of course find myself in conversations with people who aren’t as familiar with it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but these discussions can lead to people coming up with some pretty wild misconceptions about what programming is and what programmers do.

  • I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. So, I thought it would be interesting to ask.

    Yeah like “Just add a simple button here”. Yeah of course, the button is not the difficult part.

    Its like they think we just tell the computer what they asked us to do and we’re done.
