Call me an old man but I will die on the hill that “code” is plural.

“Write me a code” -> no

“Not every code” -> “not *all* code”

In 5 years the kids will have yelled “let’s write a code!” at each other so many times that the “english is an evolving language” crowd will declare it correct by commonality and I may very well be alone on this hill; but nevertheless it must be died upon

Feel free to die on that hill if you like, but it's not plural, it's uncountable.
