I should write up my notes from talking to them. I explained that programming was like speaking a language computers understood and used Spanish and English as examples.

I defined code as the words computers understand.

I defined a program as a story made up of code that a computer knows how to read.

A couple of the great questions I got were "Do you like your job?" and "Do you like typing all day?"
