What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it? - Lemmy

As someone who spends time programming, I of course find myself in conversations with people who aren’t as familiar with it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but these discussions can lead to people coming up with some pretty wild misconceptions about what programming is and what programmers do. - I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. So, I thought it would be interesting to ask.

The worst and most common misconception is that I can fix their Windows issues from a vague description they give me at a party.
Or some stupid Facebook “””issue”””
At least that’s an easy one, you just convince them to delete their account. \s
