Awkward moments in an interview where the person was repeatedly saying that , "werr you coding in your old job ?", "Here you will be doing a lot of coding " and shit like that. When he asked about my hobby immediately after , i say i am a blogger. When i was asked what my last blog was it was awkward to mention that " How the word coding is offensive for software developer !"

Couldnt have asked for a better timing..

How is the word 'coding' offensive?

@aEEEdev I can see what you're trying to get at but I am happy to be called a programmer, coder or developer. It is about what we do which, in truth is mostly writing texts for a machine to understand and execute. Which is directly what 'programming' entails and pretty much what 'coding' entails.

Coding:

1. the process of assigning a code to something for classification or identification.

(The machine identifies what everything we make means and uses it)

Programming:

2. the process of scheduling something, especially radio or television programmes.

(The scripts we write are basically just schedules for the machine to execute)

I am sorry and I'm sure you will disagree with this post too but I don't have any problems with the terms.
