Let's do an experiment! If you're *not* a professional or habitual programmer, I'd love to hear what you know about what happens between typing a web address like "example.com" into your web browser and actually seeing the page show up. Whatever level of abstraction and verbosity you're comfortable with.
Tech folks: absolutely no making fun of people for being wrong, okay? People are allowed to not know stuff!
Boosts appreciated, but only if you're interested in frivolity 💜
@noracodes as someone who is really not a programmer but very definitely something resembling a network engineer, the way you've defined the audience here is breaking my brain a little bit
I guess I see the idea behind using "programmer" as the catch-all term to refer to people who work or tinker with IT, but at the same time this feels like a very familiar type of, uh, "IT erasure" (I last had to explain I do not write code despite studying IT to someone last week)
Yes. This.
I do nearly zero programming. But I know the answer to the OP well enough to teach it.
