mhoye@js "I don't get fashion" sir you can tell Caterpillar yellow from DeWalt yellow from the far side of the job site and you have opinions about them, please get yourself a fitted shirt, try on something purple, ease into it. "I can't really do math" my girl you bake and you have strong opinions about tile floors, that is the starter kit right there, please go play with some prime numbers and graph paper, see how it feels. "I don't get computers" ma'am if you knit, you're already overqualified.
Andromeda Yelton@mhoye @js it is striking how the range of computer competence among knitters goes from “I can barely post on ravelry” to “I’m a principal engineer/CS PhD/invent cryptography in my spare time”
I see a knitting = programming conference talk downthread and believe me that is only one exemplar of a sizable genre
