The small box puzzles Marita Klein. It’s only an inch by an inch on the right screen in front of her, but it steals a good chunk of her morning. When the 34-year-old goes to the website she’s building, the box stays blank. “It’s not grey. But it has to be. We have to find out why now. We’re debugging for that.” So she’s trying out different changes on the second screen, alternating blue, orange, and yellow writing on a black background. Here is the code of the website, it determines its appearance and functions. Code is the DNA of every website, every computer program, every app. It is the realm of software developers like Marita Klein.
