new terminology i want to use in 2023
#1
instead of "source code" or in many cases just "code" i want to use the term "recipe" (or whatever it is in the language being used).

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.

To me, it always has been source code, and always will be source code, but I guess if you want to be hip, it's currently solution.
I may be wrong.
To me changing 'source code' to 'solution', is about as smart as changing 'cycles per second' to hertz.

i thought "solution" was when it solves a problem. oh wait, that explains "solution looking for a problem".

Output:
manager: the solution to our problem is Windows me: was Windows created with our problem in mind? did our problem exist before Windows was created? manager: no, no me: then how can it be the solution to our problem? isn't Windows just a solution looking for a problem?
i think i'd still rather refer to the actual text that describes to the machine, what to do for a particular purpose as a "recipe'. but i can't think of what to use for the verb "to code".
