One of the most consolidated misconceptions about programming, since the early days, is the idea that such activity is purely technical, completely...

I love the artwork in the opening slide
I love the doodles on this slide! So cute!
that was an actual drawing that my mom kept :D
I thought you're live :p good talk BTW.
That just makes it so much better! Lovely!
Great quote. Loved how you adapted it to software development. Great presentation :)
It's just that math is commonly correlated with logic, and programming is this perfect marriage between art and logic... But the way they want to teach the logic part using plain old math just doesn't work for everyone! I'm totally into alternative ways of teaching logic, specially for children and grad students
I can definitely relate to the "journey of self-discovery" that is being an artist in code.
This is so eye opening to me on why I hit a roadblock to my CS degree when it came to the upper level math. Calculus II completely demolished me and I had to change my major to Information Technology. I love coding and I passed my programming fundamentals courses, which used Java, with all A's and I really enjoyed the courses. Love your presentation!
Great to hear your story! My mother is an artist, my grandmother was a mathematician, my grandfather a scientist, and your talk is makng my think about how my decision to go into coding is kind of like a combination of all that heritage.
That's a rich heritage - you're blessed π
All respect for Margaret Hamilton , I have it as wallpaper for 3+ years <3.
It's my motivation when I get off the road :)
Margaret Hamilton is an icon <3 One of my heroes!
I had always believed that I wasn't creative and that was why I'm a programmer. But I feel like I should challenge that mindset after listening to your talk! Thanks for the new ideas Erika!
The slide deck is marvelously designed! π
I'm wearing that exact same shirt today π
I love how creative I can be while programming <3
I have that shirt! Loved doing Hacktoberfest.
ai Jao <3
I love the slide on demystifying art <3 It gives me so much freedom :)
What is IRC?
Internet Relay Chat:) Very popular when I was a teenager in the late 90's
Interesting. I remember ICQ but not IRC.
An early form of a chat. The most famous app back then was mIRC.
Hello Erika!
I haven't had to think about maths since working as a software developer. For someone that did so much maths, I have been given the chance to forget it all :p
I personally miss it, to be honest! I loved math in school (up until I hit linear algebra, then it lost me), and I'm kind of sad that I've forgotten so much of what I learned after being out of school for a few years. It might be time for me to hit up Khan Academy again!
I feel you! I haven't missed it since I still get my fix from solving problems in software development.
VERY TRUE <3 We are artists!!!
Erika <3
Pachiiiiii <3 <3

Programming truly is an art of its own. I can spend hours sitting in front of a piece of code wondering why the programmer wrote it the way they did.
Next we just need to open a code gallery featuring the greatest pieces of code nice and framed.
Awesome talk @saronyitbarek !
So many women :D
Love this diagram! Totally agree with the qualities
I usually say that I'm solving a jigsaw puzzle. I'm going to start using the lego brick analogy! So much better!
Trial & error is a big reason that I'm doing ok with learning to write software. :) Loving this talk! I think it's important to think about the connection between logic & art. Great job!
Awesome talk @erikaheide!
Great talk Erika! Super relatable.
I love that SE is a baby !
Loved that last quote!!!
WOOHOO!!! Awesome talk by @erikaheidi ! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
<3
This is so cool :)
Great talk :thumbsup
Thank you so much. I'm good at math, but struggle with the art.
The captioning is really great, thank you!
Thank You
I loved this talk!
Nice parallel with the LEGO blocks!
Great talk @erikaheidi ! :D
I kind of related with what you've said... :P
Thanks.
I love the artwork on the slides.
Really appreciate your talk. A great summary of our field. I shared it on twitter twitter.com/abelmbula/status/12865...
Great job! π
Definitely interested in being a Technical Writer. Please advise ~ Many Thanks!
Nice talk. Anyone else here from UK?
noooooo i forgot to watch i love being developerssssssss
