I notice a lot of people using programming jargon/codes to discuss things that have nothing to do with programming, and it always makes their point needlessly harder to understand.
Using mental models from one field in another is a way to make intellectual progress. Researchers in econophysics are productive despite their economics problems having nothing directly to do with physics.

Nitpick: “code” (in the computer programming sense) is a mass noun, so you don’t say “codes” to refer to programs or snippets of computer code.

It can be helpful for math.
