We ❤️ our community! Our team had an amazing time hosting another successful Community Tech Night last night! Huge thanks to our incredible Technology team and our partners at OPEAT and University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Computer Science Departmentfor helping provide tech assistance to our community. Congrats to our lucky Chromebook winners!
"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying part tended to be not so much fun, but the playing part was really marvelous. A good way to have fun again is to get a computer." - Alan J. Perlis 🔄 Repost this post

Principal Justin McCarthy’s experience as a software engineer helps him now, in his work as a patent attorney. Find out more as we ask Justin four questions in our series for National Engineers Week: 1. What is your engineering degree? “I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.” 2. How did you choose this field? “I’ve had a passion for programming computers since I first started programming my family’s Commodore 64 when I was six years old. I enjoy the challenge of breaking down problems into logical and sequential operations and providing instructions that execute those operations, as well as the challenge of digging through code to fix bugs.” 3. What is your engineering experience? “I worked as a software engineer for five years at Motorola designing, coding, and debugging base station software that handled call processing functions for 2.75, and 3rd generation cellular networks.” 4. How does this experience affect how you help clients and inventors? “As I primarily draft software patents, having the experience of actually designing and implementing source code means that I can more easily understand complex software inventions and architectures. In addition, my experience also helps me to ensure that the applications I draft are fully and accurately described.” #NationalEngineersWeek #softwareengineer #softwarepatents #engineering #patentlawyers
It's funny sometimes as developers how we always find a way to turn the conversation towards tech. In this months show (in English this time!) we have another three interesting topics from the daily lifes of my colleagues. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eeNK6UCQ
