Why is /prog/ so hostile to the term "Coding"? It was used by our lord and savior IBM as far back as '56

Nowadays it is used by code monkeys and by enterprise ruby programmers. Just like the words app and application.

Because the proper term is ``apping''.

No ``self-respecting'' epic apper would say application. I think that term is safe for now.

They use "coding" in a different, marketing, sense. Meaning automatic encoding of commands for IBM704

I.e. "coding" is what the brainless Fortran compiler does, producing machine codes.

IBM is evil. They supported the Nazi regime by selling computers to Hitler.

Because the people here are super sensitive pussies. The act of writing codified computer programs and other codified data is called coding.

Apes "code", programmers "program".
