“It’s no longer acceptable to be ignorant about the ways it <BSW: “software”> works,” he said. “If everybody brought the same ignorance about software to medicine, it would be insane, we would be mocked.”
“Software is a completely different discipline and we wanted to help to demystify it for the world that doesn’t think that way. What if you explain code in the same way you explain the arts? Why is someone attracted to Java vs C++? In the same way someone might be attracted to writing rock songs vs R&B.”
