About Jessica Rose & Eda Eren

Jessica: I woke up one day and realized that programming languages are like human languages, but with jobs that paid better and wouldn't make me get a PhD so here I am. Eda: I had an epiphany once that technology is not supposed to be a curse, and programming can be seen as an art form, not just pure science. (Also, that there's always lots to learn, so that's what I decided to do!)
