Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what's going on but I don't. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I'm asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.

Boomer is slowly evolving into Luddite in it's usage if you were not aware.

That's a lazy answer for being wrong. Seems like you knew the correct word all along, but decided to use an ageist pejorative instead, and now you're upset for being called out on it.

Wow it must be incredibly irritating being so pedantic. At least for everyone you interact with. But you'd think someone so hyper fixated on accurate language would know what a metaphor is.
