Continuing reading my book about code, programming and people! A refreshing note by David Cassel: “The stereotype of a lone genius hacking away has become an outdated pop-culture artifact in today’s world of massive coding collaborations.”

“BASIC originated the idea that programming was sth. That just anyone could do. And the echoes of that unexamined assumption perpetuate the pernicious myth today that all you need to succeed in tech is learn how to code.” By Joy Lisi Rankin

“You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don’t work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work.”
