My 15yo is taking AP Computer Science Principles. She has a 99.7% “Is writing code really this easy?” Me: 😐

She has a message: “Folks should not underestimate me + other girls in STEM.I’m a 15yo Jr + in AP Calc BC, 5 other APs + I’m bilingual. I’m an elite athlete. Y’all aren’t ready.”

@kvlly She says yes but is vying for a long term internship because she obviously has lots of time

@meganglassman SAME. She is so good at learning, her brain is a magical place. She can literally be ANYTHING she wants when she grows up. I can’t wait to see how she chooses to soar!

@nick_tenbrink No, lol. “I prefer to work alone so no one can mess up my work, plus it interferes with my productivity” Same kid has a highly organized notion that when she is a part of group projects makes sure everyone conforms to her standards. 👀

@rhiankatie They should make the class harder or she should move to a more advanced class.

@rhiankatie I have been asked interview questions at places like Facebook that I solved myself at 16 on the VIC20. So solve a lot of problems.

@rhiankatie Can she write a compiler tho? (I can’t… at least not yet. But I’ve written some interpreters…) Anyway, if it’s too easy she’ll move on to other things. The tricky bit IMHO is managing software projects once they grow in size, anyway

@rhiankatie Writing code is relatively easy. Deciding what code is worth writing is very hard.
