Example Sentences
- "I spent all night on the coding, but the program was ready by morning."
- "I spent decades as a knowledge worker in technology, precisely where society wanted me—in front of screens, building digital products, becoming the very kind of specialist I’m now critiquing. Like many of my generation, I learned some simple coding before I learned to fix a leaky faucet or [to] grow my own food. I still love technology and believe in its potential to automate mundane tasks, freeing us to pursue higher forms of creativity and connection—but this promise rings hollow if we sacrifice our fundamental capabilities in the process."
- "My car is coding today, so I cannot drive."
