Except computer "code" is useless to know. Literally. It's just a bunch of instructions that tell the CPU from which location in your RAM to take a byte of data and what to do with it. It takes about 15 minutes with a cheat sheet to learn the entire thing by heart. But it takes years of supplementary studies in things such as data structures, system engineering and math in order to use those for something other than a glorified 4 function calculator.

I would assume that being able to learn any language would include the ability to use that language, so in the case of computer languages being able to use the language to do all that.

For me I would be a person who controls sound waves I produce and can use those sound waves to affect people's minds. I would mostly do this through things like making music and singing, though I could also dampen or magnify sound waves. This would occur regardless of the medium the sound is traveling through so earplugs and the such wouldn't exactly do much. The reason I would use song mainly because I would have a stutter, which gets in the way of my abilities. My abilities could be used to the good or the bad, where I can help people overcome there own mental scaring like ptsd, but I could also use it to brainwash people to do what I want.

Even if my current primary/central body "dies", the collective now has my exact thought process, desires, emotions, etc. and is capable of continuing infecting people; my mind would live on through the collective, and a new "Prime Mind" would probably be randomly selected to control the collective.

The process is like a 'psionic virus', so even escaping my aura, depending on how far you were exposed, won't save you; eventually, you will return and join the collective. Or be used as an agent to further the collective's reach through the fact that you, too, now carry the infection.
Oh, I'm sorry, I meant now that I, too, now carry the infection.
Sounds like a good recipe to produce a society full of drones that don't actually contribute to things you can steal. Like, why would you want to make all the women around you into mental clones of your self when you can just mind control them into wanting you for a night? Same thing for the men. You want them to work in those factories making those gadgets and candy and expensive things that make your life more comfortable. Not be you and have the same hopes, dreams and wants as you do. All you'd be doing is making more of you that's more difficult to please as opposed to actually pleasing your self.
Plus like you just know that there is always going to be an annoying super out there with delusions of grandeur and a messianic complex that's going to be looking for people just like you and conveniently have exactly the right powers to neutralize your own due to plot reasons or heroic willpower or what ever.

As for pleasing myself, I can still do that. It'd just be more akin to "self-pleasing" than actual sex or anything of the sort, but let's drop that chain there to avoid going beyond PG-13.
My society would be perfect because we would all be of one mind, whether my hivemind is in place or not. If the 'Prime Mind' dies, a new one takes control assuming the hive mind system stays in place. Either way, my mind - and therefore my consciousness and I - live on forever, and slowly but surely subvert all of humankind.

Heh, I would find being left with only myself to interact with rather boring personally. Still, if your power was born out of a mutation, wouldn't that mean it would disappear as soon as your physical body did? In that case, you better create yourself a strong vault with lot of life-support.

Actually at this point I am addressing a very mundane topic. By infecting others all you achieve is gathering more mouths you have to feed, literally. Simply put, the more people you control the more of "you" there is. And therefore the more the basic needs of you grow. At the same time you are not really gaining any resource that would be required to compensate for this growth.
My approach exploits people around me, periodically in bursts, to satisfy my personal needs be they for food, clothing or what ever else. Yours increases the number and severity of needs whilst at the same time growing the strain on the governing mind which now has to juggle controlling all those bodies and accounting for their requirements.
It's like being in charge of a government but only the worst most uncomfortable parts of it like having to care for your people and without any of the sweet sweet abuse of power.

But you still need to work. And you need to work more and more to feed the more and more people. At the very best your scenario means that all these bodies still have to hold down a job and all you get is to live a thousand regular lives. Me, I get to live one life leaching off the work of others or occasionally their bodies. All play and no work.

Once everyone is under my control, there would be no need for war or crime, so that would cease immediately. And, now that I have access to the collective knowledge of the world as well as having possibly absorbed necessary skills to put that knowledge to use, I can pretty much advance humanity as a species towards whatever goal it is I desire. Even when my original body dies, it's still me. Newborns are me. Everyone becomes me and is me.
Eternal unification of all humankind, under one goal, one mind, one thought, etc.
