Software Developers Journey

Jen took us to the beginning of her STEM journey, with the goal to walk the footsteps of Ayanna Howard, but life wanted otherwise. Nevertheless, she found her way to coding. We nostalgically talked about dev-jobs in the 90s and early 2000s. We spoke about web development, accessibility and advocacy.Here are the links of the show:https://www.twitter.com/knitcodemonkeyhttps://www.deque.com/axe/axe-for-webTalk from Marcy Sutton - Where in the Stack is Carmen Sanfrancisco?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxsUsgBYCIcAyanna Howard: https://howard.ece.gatech.eduCreditsMusic Aye by Yung Kartz is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.Your hostSoftware Developer‘s Journey is hosted and produced by Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, a crazy frenchman living in Germany, who dedicated his life to helping others learn & grow.

Anjana started by clarifying what Computational Linguistics is, and the research she did in this field. We then talked about idiomatic programming and echo-chambers, which led us to talking about communities. Anjana then described the coding retreat she did in 2015 and how it was a forming experience in her life. We finished the interview by talking about Developer Advocacy and Public Speaking.Anjana suffers from a debilitating case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software development. As a developer/advocate at Observable, she can often be found coding from her home base in San Francisco; that is, when she's not speaking at events around the world to share the joy of programming and promote a more diverse, equitable, and ethical tech industry.
