What? Are we not supposed to put that on the login page? Next you'll be telling me to remove the "Inject SQL" button ...

I was always fond of 2 or 3 gears.

"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

APL?

I find that how well I photograph is inversely proportional to how much code I am writing at the time.

I suppose they could use the Arduino sample code set.

That, unironically, was my jam in the early 90s.

There was a span of a good 15 years or so where it seemed like almost every time I saw a code snippet in marketing materials it was rendered in the Chicago typeface. Chicago, for the young’uns, is the original font used for system text like buttons and menus on the Mac. Aside from being not even close to monospace, it was designed *specifically* to be used as title text on low-res, 1-bit displays. Nobody ever used it for code without first uttering the sentence, “hey, this’ll be funny.” But it sort of entered the zeitgeist as “generic techie font” for a long while.

Angelina Jolie was THE Female Hacker in the movie Hackers! (And the boy went on to play Holmes in the TV Series with a totally different look/feel) Do they count? (As real coders/hackers?)

The problem with that is that APL doesn't look like code. Looks more like astrology or some other sort of sorcery.

"Coding" nowadays has become mostly web or mobile. As web has been around longer than mobile, it looks more familiar to most non-tech people.
