/ Software Content for �ٺ���Ƶ en /blog/coding-two-audiences-humans-and-computers <p>Software code is written to be read by both computers and humans. Machines quickly and perfectly understand the computational meaning, while humans read it the same way they read natural language: not as quickly and sometimes incorrectly. With a new $1.2M three-year <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2107592">NSF-funded project</a>, a group of software engineers and social scientists at �ٺ���Ƶ will leverage this bimodality to develop tools that make writing, reading and maintaining code easier and improve the overall programming experience.</p> February 14, 2022 - 4:14pm Andy Fell /blog/coding-two-audiences-humans-and-computers /news/poet-software-pioneer-receive-uc-davis-innovation-awards <p>Ralph J.
