I often wonder what happened to things like Live Model (one of many examples; essentially, interfaces that allow system building through interactive diagrams) that allows one to get from the nuisance of code (yes, guys, that statement is by design and can be discussed further).<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>The TGS, Inc. site deals principally with historical\/genealogical topics, however we are in a transition mode where technological issues are foremost. The technology of today is much different than that available to our forebears. Yet, we&#8217;re mostly the same people (memes issue might come into play here; we&#8217;ll get back to that).<\/p>\n<p>So, we have been looking a web stuff, in part. As well, that brings up code (see <strong><a title=\"Does code matter?\" href=\"http:\/\/thomasgardnerofsalem.wordpress.com\/2014\/05\/30\/does-code-matter\/\">Does code matter?<\/a><\/strong>) which ought to be of more interest that it is. People seem to have let the wizards have their day and way (see\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fed-aerated.blogspot.com\/2014\/03\/wake-up-people-its-your-right.html\">Wake up, people, it&#8217;s your right<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>But is a whole lot more to think about than code, though one will still have one&#8217;s hands in the stuff. Truth engineering is one basis that has had less attention than it ought.<\/p>\n<p>To wit: ancestry.com being down so long (with its secondary offerings &#8211; say, myfamily &#8212; being out for days).<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to girls and coding. In my long years of working, I had cohorts that were female who were quite adept with computational matters. At the same time, these cohorts ran a gamut that guys usually don&#8217;t understand (or experience). In a sense, though there may be some issues related to Sheryl&#8217;s efforts, she is right on some of the gender matters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is sponsoring a site that is interesting: Made w\/ Code Google.
