It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
Mathematics and computer science having little to do with linguistics seems to be more often the position of people with an interest in the former two than a generally shared perspective. It's true that programming languages are formally mathematical, but they're still languages with grammars and parsing and even room for implication and ambiguity and authorial expression now and then; and math or no, learners often find framing, for example, object orientation in terms of nouns and verbs more intuitive than staring at proofs.
Manufactured languages, software architectures, and specialized interfaces are much more limited in scope than natural languages, texts, and grammars. But there are still rules they conform to and tendencies they exhibit, so it's rather a waste of time to ignore the vocabulary and theoretical toolkit already developed for us by linguists and semioticians. And of course, treating natural languages themselves in mathematical terms is a topic of no small interest on either side of what dividing line exists.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
