What code DOESN’T do

  1. Code does not move
  2. Code is not green text on a black background
  3. Code has structure
  4. Code is not 3 dimensional
  5. Code does not make blip noises as it appears on the screen
  6. Code cannot be cracked by an 8 year old kid in a matter of seconds
  7. Not all code is meant to be cracked
  8. Code isn’t just 0100110 010101 10100 011
  9. People who write code use mice
  10. Most code is not inherently cross platform

Funny because it is so true!
