I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science. ↗

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones. ↗

We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum. ↗

My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education. ↗

I've always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal. ↗

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night. ↗

This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we're talking about people with PhDs in engineering, computer science, mathematics. ↗
