prodoxx1678yha-ha same yo. They keep yelling at me to go outside and be a normal human being. They actually think I sell drugs because I keep making a lot of money and they don't get how I do it :v

Y05H1658yI usually start talking about the products we develop rather than the actual software I write.

Skyeshard08yI work on account management software and I'm also an account manager at a private investment bank. Computers and Money.

cianmarbo228yI just fix things when they need me to and then when they ask how I did it I say "Magic" and no more is said

W1ckeD7338yIt's not that hard is it? "I speak the language computers speak so I can make them do stuff, see those apps on your phone? They are build by using that language which will tell the phone or computer or dishwasher what to do. Without people like me telling it what to do or what to be, there won't be a Facebook or whatsapp or whatever" it's simplified but that's the thing, you got to break it down to a base level, most people understand it, even those with zero tech knowledge.

lenomnl158yThe term 'programmer' is well understood these days. And when you do meet that 'special' someone, I'll just say "IT". However, for an in depth description I'm having trouble explaining it simple. Haha
I have completely given up explaining to my friends and family what I do for a living.
