82-Year-Old Japanese Woman Finds Success in Coding
I just moved to Japan, and it&#x27;s fascinating that connotations (including my previous) with Japan are &quot;High tech, futuristic, efficient&quot; when in reality it is, &quot;slow moving, traditional, and (frequently) inefficient.&quot; I can comment more as to why &#x2F; how.<p>This woman is not only fighting cultural norms of the _world_, but also Japan. Software engineering, in general, lags so far behind the rest of the world, save robotics. It&#x27;s starting to change, and I&#x27;m glad that people like Wakamiya-san are preventing the creation of a &#x27;conventional software engineer&#x27;. Seriously, the field needs more role models like Grace Hopper to idolize rather than our current trend of Jobs, Gates, Woz, Knuth, etc.
