0:13
her my
0:15
me a a Macintosh in 1984 as a result I was in sixth grade
0:19
I learn to code in college freshman year of us the mast of
0:23
on intro to computer science a row to
0:26
around the plate tic-tac-toe thing is pretty humble beginnings I think
0:30
the first program I wrote asked not things like what's your favorite color
0:34
or how old are you I first learned how to make greens her call
0:37
and their red square here on the screen the first time I actually had something
0:42
come up and say hello world
0:44
added the I made a computer do that was just astonishing learning approved in
0:48
star office
0:49
wanting to learn all of Computer Science or um
0:52
are trying to master this to supplant or anything like that it just start off
0:56
because I want to do
0:57
this one simple thing I want to make something I was fun for myself and my
1:00
sister some
1:01
wrote this little program and basically just have a little bit to it and wanted
1:05
to learn something new
1:06
looks a lot better and Booker on the Internet at a little bit to it it's
1:10
really not unlike gonna play an instrument or something
1:12
o'rourke you're playing sport the
1:16
its or something very intimidating but coming at the bank that over time
1:20
coating is something that can be learned and noms
1:24
I know I can be intimidating a lot of things are intimidating
1:27
but up you know what isn't blood according to people do they actually
1:31
fairly simple
1:32
um its it's more about the process of breaking down problems then
1:37
I you know sort of coming out with complicated algorithms as people to
1:41
sleep thinking about it
1:45
you don't have to be a genius to know how to counter you need to be determined
1:48
ditions attractions up that's about it
1:52
should probably know your multiplication tables you don't have to be a genius to
1:56
could you have to be a genius to read
1:57
even if you wanna become a race car driver play baseball
2:01
um or I you know build a house in it
2:05
all these things have been turned upside down by software but it is you know
2:08
computers are are everywhere he went to work in agriculture do you want to work
2:12
in entertainment do you want to work in
2:14
manufacturing it's just all over but
2:19
well below
2:23
21 night
2:29
carry our 2013
2:31
when are dependent on technology to communicate
2:34
to basic information and none of us know how to read and write code
2:42
when I was in school hours in the staff to school group called the whiskey is
2:48
and people found that these laughed at me and you know all these things are
2:52
like me and I don't care i think is cool and you know I'm learning a lot
2:56
and summer for his abs ops our policy
3:02
is literally to hire as many talented engineers as we can find
3:06
the whole image in the system is just that they're just are enough people who
3:10
were trained
3:11
and have the skills today get the very best people we try to make the offices
3:16
awesome as possible
3:39
your fantastic chef
3:41

3:53
around the office in places where you can play or relax good thinker play
3:58
music for be creative
3:59
you
4:02
whether you're trying to make a lot of money or whether you just want to change
4:05
the world computer program is incredibly empowering skill to learn
4:08
I think if someone had told me that you
4:12
software is really about humanity that is really about helping people
4:17
by using computer technology it would have changed my outlook a lot earlier
4:21
to be able to actually think of an idea and then
4:25
see it in your hands and then be able to press a button and haven't been millions
4:29
people's hands
4:30
minute I think we're that for some reason the world that's really ever had
4:33
a good experience
4:34
just to think that and you can start something and
4:37
your college dorm room and you can have a set of people who haven't built a big
4:42
company before
4:43
come together in build something that two billion people use this parameter
4:46
daily lives as
4:48
it's crazy to think about and it's really it's humbling and it's amazing
4:51
the programmers have tomorrow or the Wizards love the future
4:54
you know you're gonna look like you have magic powers compared everybody else
4:58
it's amazing is it think it's the closest thing we have to a superpower
5:01
