As someone who spends time programming, I of course find myself in conversations with people who aren’t as familiar with it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but these discussions can lead to people coming up with some pretty wild misconceptions about what programming is and what programmers do.

      I actually get that somewhat often, but for 3D printing. People think a photo of a 3D model is “the model”

        Dude, I would just 2d print the png they sent and give them the piece of paper.

        If they complained, I would say: “I literally printed the thing you told me to print.”
