French Fridays for Developers - Week 11

Jun 16, 2023
In March, 2023 started French for Devs Fridays to celebrate getting to 400 days on Duolingo. Here you'll find weekly useful and/or amusing French phrases for developers. This one's for all those new devs learning to code for the first time, current devs diving into a completely new language far removed from your usual stack, or anyone who's tried to explain code to non-programmers and gotten "that look".
Today is my:
- 🇫🇷 507 day of French,
- 🇳🇱 167th day of Dutch,
- 🏴 **6th day of Welsh,
- (I got curious and started another language this week!) and
- 👋 42nd Day of ASL (American Sign Language)
Here's this week's French for Devs quote and translation. I was reading Apple news and came across a brilliantly worded article by Tristian Cross of The Guardian. A link to his article is below.

Comment les non-programmeurs voient le code :
« Le code peut sembler alarmant pour les non-initiés : des «langues» impénétrables qui se lisent principalement comme une calculatrice ayant un accident vasculaire cérébral. »~ Tristan Cross, The Guardian, June 12, 2023

How non-programmers see code: "Code can appear alarming to the uninitiated: inscrutable “languages” that mostly read like a calculator having a stroke”
