How a group of people... who make their living typing characters, that encode binary values, that get compiled to machine code... can be so judgemental about transformative artistic license boggles my mind. Does it not occur to people that the visualizations are intended to be a layperson's representation of what the act of coding is like, rather than what's actually on the screen?

Interpreting, modifying, and fitting together higher-dimensional structures is a pretty accurate analogy of what my average day to day feels like, at the 1,000 ft level.

Also, some Orbital, for retro kicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV-hSgL1R74

Edit: For those who want support from the work itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlMvYx11V-Y&t=4s. The writers / directors were well aware of what actual computer code looks like.
