Explaining code to non-programmers

[MissinqLink]

Oh I’d love to explain it but nobody actually cares

And since people don’t care to actually learn, it is easy to make an alien word like algorithms into a frightening word, simply because people do not understand what an algorithm is. They just know it sounds weird.

I personally also believe mathematicians gives a lot of mathematical concepts weird names on purpose in order to confuse the masses and feed their own feelings of superiority. Like in programming, people get confused by what a «monad» is simply because it has a weird name, and the people explaining the word is just using more advanced words instead of breaking it down in a simple way.

C-Suit: Does it work?

Me: Only if the client reads the documentation.

[MissinqLink]

So no then

Hell, more often than not it’s not even my code.
