Because Ada Lovelace Day is coming up, as well as this New York Times Magazine Article on top of my mom's birthday coming up, I thought I would do some posts on Ladies and Tech and Computer Science as a whole. Because its (obviously) a subject near and dear to my heart. So a little background on why this is important to me, other than my personal involvement. My mom started her own tech company after leaving IBM in the early 90s, sold it in 2010, and is now the CEO. She basically did the start up thing years before the start-up as a concept was a thing and with no VC funding. So needless to say she is sort of a personal hero of mine.
So expect more on that as we get more into October including highlights of Computer Science when it was seen as women's work (shocker I know) and somewhat related, my favorite Grace Hopper Quote of all time (and no, it's not "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission")
So stay tuned.
