Now I do wonder about the history of the term.
The tendency is to call computational science software “codes”, but I’ve never heard a scientist call, ie a web browser, a code.
There’s a different connotation. Like how theres a different connotation between a program, an application, and and app. The are largely synonymous, but have slightly different uses.
