- jxramos 9y ago"""The most important thing I've accomplished, other than building the compiler, is training young people. They come to me, you know, and say, 'Do you think we can do this?' I say, "Try it." And I back 'em up. They need that. I keep track of them as they get older and I stir 'em up at intervals so they don't forget to take chances.[34]""" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper#Post_retirement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper#Post_retirement Really like that part about following up/through and stirring them up. Folks lacking motivation and direction can really benefit from such stirring.

- twodave 9y agoIt just occurred me how humorously close her name is to "grasshopper". I love it when people's names describe their legacies!
