She Built Without Permmission. So Did I. Last week I asked what happens when the observer finally builds something.This week — here's what happened. Grace Hopper taught computers to speak English. You met her in Edition 1 — the moth, the logbook, the bug. What you may not know is that before the bug, she was told computers couldn't understand words. She built the first compiler anyway — a program that translated human-readable instructions into machine code. Then helped create COBOL, one of...

This week: I turned the lens inward. This series has been shaped by two lineages of women. The ones who taught me to observe systems — Margaret Mead, who went into the field and watched what humans actually do. Jane Goodall, who sat still in the forest until the truth revealed itself. But there was another lineage...
