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)

Given that I stole this from a programming community, it shouldn't be too far off from true.

(Caveat lector: I'm not in the IT industry but I'm often messing with bash scripts and decompiled python code.)

What does "decompiled python code" mean ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I meant "decrypted", not "decompiled". (When I wrote the above I was sleep-deprived.)

I mostly pick visual novels apart, to know how to reach one or another specific route. From that I'm somewhat used to read Python code - or at least Ren'Py code.

That's cool. I had no idea there was a python variant for visual novels! https://www.renpy.org/
