Heard an interview with Bill Gates on an Atlantic podcast, he relies on a few years of programming he did when he was in his teens and twenties, yet he is the most prominent person who knows anything about programming. This is a societal mistake. We have to have public discourse about tech that’s as informed as Krugman is on economics, and Heather Cox Richardson is on American history.
[Absolutely. Most of the media conversations I hear are garbage. Years ago, reading magazines on topics of which I had first hand knowledge, I realized how many mistakes were made, how much misinformation was being disseminated. Anyway… more of the same.]
