This is a cool history twitter post by this cool dude, i think he founded npm or something? But he doesn’t always tweet about just computers and programming, he does a lot of broad history tweets
There is a cool long twitter thread on Ada Lovelace here… his insights a re pretty cool!
I’m wondering if we can spin stuff like t hat off on the SudoRoom blog. Recently I visited SudoRoom and people were showing me an early laser - I think it was remarkable in t hat it could project blue laser light? Then they told me that it wasn’t until 2008 that blue lasers were possible? Some dude won the Nobel prize for this?
This would be a cool thread, just SudoRoom rambling about the history of some invention in some interesting way. I’m sure we’re writing it in the SudoRoom voice because SudoRoom comes from a particular point of view which is that it’s all about social good but also invention and discovery for its own sake. We aren’t such a corporate hackerspace
