Admiral Grace Hopper's Warning


Listen Later

"The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it that way.'"

This quote, from a fascinating woman, wakes us up from doing things the same way because it's easy and comfortable. Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was also a mathematician and one of the most influential figures in the history of computing. In this episode, we discuss her life and her belief that going down that same route or habitually completing a task is not only stagnant but could be dangerous.
