Stop Saying "Codes"

Code is a mass noun, like water or sand.

You don't say "I wrote five codes today" any more than you'd say "I drank five waters."

Say This

  • "I wrote some code today"
  • "The code is working"
  • "I need to review the code"
  • "Let me fix this piece of code"

Not This

  • "I wrote some codes today" ❌
  • "The codes are working" ❌
  • "I need to review the codes" ❌
  • "Let me fix these codes" ❌
