"Young women don't magically become technologists at 22. Neither do young men. Hackers are born in childhood..."
Nitpick: I actually only started learning to program in university as an undergraduate (I was ~21). I have a female friend who had a similar start, so you don't necessarily have to start as a child. It's not gymnastics. The thrill of solving puzzles can be experienced at any time in your life, I think.
Otherwise, great article.
- oh_sigh 13y agoI don't really understand your thought process. You seem to get it, but you don't. When you learn to program has nothing to do with when you become a hacker.
- auggierose 13y agoI don't like solving puzzles. Something that was put together by somebody else, for the sole purpose of you trying to figure out what it was. How stupid. It's for people who believe in god.
