My fiance recently tried to explain in a foreign language to a lady of advanced age which she is taking care of what is it that I do. The term writer was the closest thing that made any sense to that lady.


Did the language not have a word for programming? As in "progam" a thing to do X or Y?


It has(Italian), but how do you explain this concept to someone who was born before Turing's groundbreaking paper was published and worked most of her life for a newspaper?
