unprogrammable
Cannot be coded
Something unprogrammable resists or cannot accept programming—whether literal code or figurative conditioning.
A device might be unprogrammable due to hardware limitations: The chip was unprogrammable after the fuse was blown.
Applied to people, it suggests resistance to indoctrination or training: She remained stubbornly unprogrammable, immune to corporate messaging.
