| I'm an old nerd. As in reel to reel tape old nerd. BASIC and FORTRAN, etc. DOS was a new thing when I was in college. I'm ancient. |

| I think that might make you a psychopath rather than a nerd but I'm no psychologist xD |

| it isn't? I watch & read about natural & Engineering disasters all the time |

| yeah apparently spending hours every week reading accident reports and watching videos about plane crashes is not normal :) |

| So if you write in JavaScript or Ruby or Python or BASIC or whatever, someone somewhere coded a "virtual machine" that is a go-between for what you're typing and what is sent to the computer. Those are the real geeks, the people who program the programming languages. |

| ok I gotta stop thinking about that now, I have coding PTSD lol |

| Computers only speak machine language. Human computer languages are just for human convenience of being able to use common words to achieve goals. There's an underlying block of code in every language that "translates" what you type to machine language so the computer can understand. |

| Min, i did an internship where we worked with transistors. long story short, if an electric current goes in a certain way it send out a signal in binary 1 or 0. thats how it sends out different signals and does things |

| I used a book, a friend, and learned what was called Basic programming in college (early 80's) |

| Right this is probably the stupidest question I've ever asked but I know you guys are kind and I've been wondering for actual years now but how do you initially teach the computers how to be coded? Like when do they go from a lump of metal to being able to type things onto a screen and it actually do something? Baffles me xD |

| We just couldn't figure out where we screwed it up. Had to read every freaking code line & still didn't find it |
