Programming languages that are meant for humans to be able to understand and must be compiled or interpreted for computers to understand. Having to guess about what a line of code is doing fuels the imposter syndrome that so many of us fight with.įor the most part, we build our applications with high-level programming languages. What we always care about is whether or not we can understand what the line is doing when we read it. Sometimes we will care about the optimization of a line. The computer can interpret the statements whether we use the most concise way of writing an algorithm or whether we use the most readable way. Whether we are writing a novel, a short story, an article or code, our audience is always our fellow humans. If we are building for everyone, why then are we writing code like we only want those with our decoder ring to be collaborators? Or we only want the computer to be able to decode what we wrote? In the talk about inclusivity, everyone, all humans, should be able to use the applications or products we build. Sometimes, while reading code (computer science), both definitions apply. Code is either a system of words, letters or figures substituted for other words, letters or figures, especially for the purposes of secrecy or programming instructions.
