Barbara Liskov, a Turing Award winner who invented some key principles of object-oriented programming, on what it takes a woman to get to the top of CS field
Barbara Liskov pioneered the modern approach to writing code. She warns that the challenges facing computer science today can't be overcome with good design alone.

Quanta / @quantamagazine : “More than technology is needed to solve our current problems. We need laws addressing the ways people misbehave. We need to work out this question of privacy versus security.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... Quanta / @quantamagazine : Coding pioneer Barbara Liskov discusses the origins of some of the internet's biggest issues — like fake news and security breaches — and why it will take more than new tech to solve these problems. https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... Quanta / @quantamagazine : “Knowing methodology doesn't mean you're good at designing. Some people can design, and some people can't.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... Quanta / @quantamagazine : We spoke with Turing Award winner Barbara Liskov about how things have changed for women trying to break into computer science, and how they haven't. https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... Ruben Verborgh / @rubenverborgh : “Good code has both substance and style. It provides all necessary information, without extraneous details. It bypasses inefficiencies and bugs. It is accurate, succinct and eloquent enough to be read and understood by humans.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... #BarbaraLiskov #WomenInTech Sukumar Rajagopal / @rsukumar : TIL Barbara Liskov, Turing Award Winner, created the progenitor of C++, Java... ~ brilliant interview must read /Via @Techmeme https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ...
