Hardly sloppy use, 'code' as a reference to 'program' (n.) may be a very
precise reference to how some people write programs. Some of the 'code'

For this reason, I always thought that
using "code" for programs was considered sloppy jargon
and that in a formal document or article one should
write "computer program" rather than "code".
