It can take years to learn how to write computer code well. SourceAI, a Paris startup, thinks programming shouldn’t be such a big deal. The company is fine-tuning a tool that uses artificial ...

Software is computer code that tells a computer how to perform a specific task. There are many kinds of software, including operating systems, applications, and malware. Software can be distributed ...

Code pours from Feross Aboukhadijeh’s fingers. As a devotee of the open source software movement, he has written immensely popular web apps, peer-to-peer file exchanges, and more than 100 other pieces ...

Coding is a facet of computer programming, and programmers are often called coders. Coding is a process used to write instructions for what a computer, application, or software program does and how it ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

We question whether analytical tools such as Common Workflow Language, which aim to make computational methods “reproducible and shareable”, can stand the test of time (see Nature 573, 149–150; 2019).
