coding
In modern conversation, "coding" most commonly refers to computer programming. While it can mean assigning codes to data (like in a medical or research setting), the technology meaning is far more frequent. When used as a noun, it is typically an uncountable noun (e.g., "I love coding"), meaning you do not usually say "codings." As a verb, it is often used interchangeably with "programming," though "coding" is sometimes seen as a more casual or specific term for the act of writing the actual lines of code.
