@kottke She gave a lecture to my class when I was in computer science graduate school. Interesting.

Wow. She gave a lecture on YouTube in 1982! She really was ahead of her time.

@kottke I strongly recommend everyone remotely interested in the subject to watch this. Not only is Grace Hopper a brilliant and entertaining speaker but surprisingly most of her talking points are still valid more than forty years later. That’s quite the feat considering she’s talking about Computer science.
