Not intended to be pedantic or contrarian, but I think this falls apart when the code is making sure a signal is sent somewhere (aka communication). If I write a module that allows IPC am I focusing on execution or communication? I understand one can say they were “executing the communication” but at that point we ought to remove execute from the phrase if it has to preface anything you do.

To fully disprove my point, at what point do we never execute something with code so the distinction is even worth mentioning?

OP talks about asking humans what good code looks like, and that's the scope of my response. Code as a communication tool between developers is not its primary reason to exist.
