Serious question. We had a perfectly serviceable word, yet everyone decided to shift. Is it just that it’s shorter to type?
If so, I feel for your colleagues trying to parse your code when all your variables use abbreviations.

In my personal experience, “coding” has been used as long as I can remember, but took over as the dominating term maybe 8-12 years ago.
I also prefer to say programming still. Coding sounds weird to me because it has its own separate (though certainly related) meanings.
Coding sounds trivial. And it’s a gateway term to “vibe coding”.
