The first computers weren't coded with words or languages, but by manipulating physical entities to do fairly basic calculations. "Programmers" would plug wires into sockets, set switches, turn dials, and spin rotors. It was, at the time, considered "women's work" because it was mostly clerical. But setting that aside, it was all mechanical in nature. These workers didn't call themselves "programmers" but "operators" because they physically operated the machine.

Sledge is a classic operator from the early days. An Attacker, part of Redhammer, specializing in breaching and anti-gadget operations, allowing the British commando the ability to access hard-to-reach areas of a map without putting the entire time at risk.
