If there's a show set in the 21st century, The Team will have a hacker, an operator, or other kind of computer user on board, who is set up in a Hacker Cave with three monitors and a bunch of high-end computers. Since the writer wants to portray that person as a computer genius, there must be constant of lines of source code flowing over the computer screens. In Real Life, no software developer goes about things that way. When developing programs, you need to study and create every single line of source code with all your focus. Since this isn't cool enough the Cool Code of Source will be forever running down the screen. Even the designers of TV shows have to get those lines of code somewhere, a common source is the Linux kernel. This is not only for collecting scenes where we get to see lots of code, but also for collecting the fragments that we recognize. Related to Matrix Raining Code and Computers Speak Binary. See also Programming Language. For an automatic gibberish source code generator, go here. Examples |

An episode of CSI: NY involved someone using a hack to cheat in a Gears of War 3 tournament. At one point we see the hack's source code. Apparently, it's coded in... HTML. The author of this article (in Polish) even tracked down the original website from which the HTML code was taken for the show. | |

Lain from Serial Experiments Lain apparently does all her hackery in Lisp. Specifically, she's implementing Conway's Game of Life, with code from the CMU AI repository. She also does C++ in the artbook. Apparently, she's hacking Lisp while not paying attention to a lecture about C. |

In Ghost in the Shell (1995), it's: C. Mostly file path string manipulation with some references to drawing. It eventually repeats itself during that scene. |

PAYDAY 2: Certain monitors tend to have command line windows open filled with what is essentially XML. The more traditional example of the trope is during specific hacking sequences in the game, where you place a gadget on or near some hardware and force an I.T Technician to hack it, which usually displays some stylised scrolling code. | |

Dollhouse uses the HTML source (which isn't code—it's markup) from the Web site for Wolfram Research in a cracking scene during the episode "Briar Rose". Wolfram Research is a real company that makes Mathematica software, but it shares a name with an evil corporation on Whedon's series Angel, making it a particularly nerdy hidden reference. Their environmental control system also seems to make heavy use of some XML dialect, as seen when Alpha uses it. |
