- Programmer-followers, image there would be a book called: "The programmer's brain: what every programmer should know about cognition" which covered topics like short and long-term memory, plus effects on programming, like how to read and structure code, would you read that book?
- Finally get to share this!!! I won the Dutch Prize for ICT research 2021. I am very happy to receive 50.000 euros for my research, but maybe even more happy to see that my work, which has so often been deemed as "not computer science" is seen as both ICT and as valuable! 🎉🎉
- Ok technically my holiday has started, but I thought it'd be fun to do a @threadapalooza on programming and all the things I have thought about over the past year! Let's see how close I can get to a hundred opinions and thoughts about programming & education! (1/100)
- Replying to @Felienne
- A while back I opened up about the harmful anti-feminist culture at @tudelft. While I have lots of first hand stories, I also want to share a recent event that really shook me, even given my very low expectations. TL;DR: TU Delft considers "feminism" to be extremist. A thread:
- "I miss the time when there were hardly any non-male non-white people in tech, and the ones that were there were too afraid to speak up, or bullied out when they did, so we never had to think about the world outside our tech bubble"I miss pre-political tech so much... Or at least the time when tech politics had something to do with tech or was new and interesting in some way rather than the same left–right bs the rest of society is mired in.
- Programmers make more mistakes in C++ than in Java but they fix errors quicker in C++ #dagstuhl
- How to teach programming and other things! My @rstudio conference keynote is up! resources.rstudio.com/rstudio-conf-2… It was such a wonderful experience sharing the story of my work and life. The ups and downs, and my big views for programming education.
- 🎉🎉🎉 "The Programmer's Brain" is out now as an @ManningBooks MEAP!!! That means that you can read the first three chapters straight away and be among the first people to get the print book when it comes out -> manning.com/books/the-prog…This post is unavailable.
