"So, what do YOU do?"

"Oh, I'm a programmer."

"Ah. But ... what do you DO?"

"Well... I mostly sit around and think. Every now and then I add, remove, or change some code or documentation here or there to make things better."

"..."

"Sometimes I also help diagnose a problem a customer is having and develop the necessary fixes to make sure the problem doesn't happen again in the future for any of our customers."

"..."

"I cast computer spells!"

"Wow, really? Like Gandalf but with a keyboard? That's cool!"

"I also have a cyber port right here at the back of my neck..."

"Whoa! Is that like USB5 or something? Cool!"
