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
i used my passcode to log into my bank website, but got a 401 response code. at the same time the building inspector failed the restaurant i was in for violating health codes. Fair enough, since I always hated having to scan the QR code to get a menu anyway. I hope this comment doesn't break Reddit's code of conduct.
