Thanks for saying that. It is an underrated practice I think. Could you elaborate a bit more on this.
It's a joke. Explaining it to a computer means expressing it in code. (Not sure if I'm the one who got whooshed here)
You got wooshed yeah.
Someone should create a service where people can collaborate in explaining things to computers, and comment, ask questions, or criticise each other's explanations....
In case your curiosity is genuine- I think gp is referring to the common idea that computers are notoriously “dumb” and require meticulously explicit instructions for every step of a given task in order for them to reliably accomplish said task.
