The clue "Heartless dame resides in Greek island and works as a programmer" leads us to the answer "CODES." Let's break down the clue to understand why this answer fits perfectly:

1. Heartless dame: "Heartless" often indicates the removal of the middle letters of a word. In this case, we remove the middle letters "ame" from "dame," leaving us with "d."
2. Resides in Greek island: The abbreviation for the Greek island would be "Crete" - removing the last letter gives us "Cret."
3. Works as a programmer: This refers to what programmers do - they write code.

Combining these clues, we get "CODE" (from "heartless" + "d" and "Cret" with the last letter removed), and adding an "s" for plural makes it "CODES," which fits the clue perfectly. The wordplay in this crossword clue cleverly combines different elements to lead us to the answer.
