I also loved them knowing Lenny wrote some code, as he was the only person in the world who uses snake case in javascript, because I’m also a snake case heretic.
One of the great onscreen code moments was in Superman III¹ where Richard Pryors’ character has written some “impossible” program and when the listing is shown on screen it’s pretty much five screens of BASIC REM statements.

How to sell drugs online fast was a great show because they kept stressing how they had to have the test pass in their Vue front end.
I always whenever I see code on a show/movie I wonder if it's real, a lot of times it's a mix of random languages. Sometimes just jibberish.

Time for an elisp port of Doom
That TRON theme linked in the article is cool, thanks for sharing.
At risk of being downvoted into oblivion by the emacs gang, I wonder if someone’s got a similar theme for vim?
