This is not a guide on how to build xenophorm software, it's just a description of how they do it.
Every solar cycle this creature awakens and positions itself before a foldable object made of very dense artificial material. It consists of two solid parts joined by a metallic hinge mechanism that allows expansion and collapse. When expanded, the upper section displays pulsating illumination with continuously shifting patterns, while the lower section is covered with small square buttons arranged in orderly rows.
The being presses these buttons in seemingly random sequences, causing alterations in the luminous patterns above. Its appendage movements are swift and precise - it appears to intuitively know which button to press to achieve specific photon emission configurations. This process continues for many consecutive hours.
Periodically the being ingests a dark liquid from a cylindrical vessel, after which its movements become more frantic and the luminous patterns shift more rapidly. The substance appears to have pseudoscientific properties that enhance the ritual's intensity.
The medicine induces loud vocalization such as "compiling," "git push," and "deployment failed" - apparently formulas necessary for proper process execution.
The surrounding environment contains numerous other rectangular devices, serpentine colored cables, and objects that emit constant humming sounds - likely auxiliary tools for this primitive software creation ritual.
Well, primitive by our standards, yet surprisingly effective for their level of technological development. They would probably be surprised to discover our much more efficient, yet basic, chorus-driven software engineering, where 300 individuals collectively sing code to a lazy snail, modifying its swaying patterns such that surfaces are imbued with binary saliva trails which, licked by herbivores, cause venom-induced paranoia, leading to Darwinian evolution towards engineering creatures capable of writing the chanted software.
