@ericsfraga @sacha @blainsmith I’d say that many, if not most, of us in #DigitalHumanities (necessarily) have such interdisciplinary backgrounds—but computing is, of course, dominated by increasingly narrow-minded engineering.
I’m going to reflect on computer science as a humanities discipline next week at #UndoneCS…

@mxp @ericsfraga @blainsmith I'm currently focused on parenting a kiddo, so naturally I find myself learning about all sorts of things I might not have set out to learn on my own. :) I'm delighted with the way Emacs lets me build tools to support my learning French so that I can help my daughter learn French too. She wants to play with AI, I'll explore it with her. She wants to pounce on me for hugs at random moments, I'll use speech recognition to quickly capture my thoughts so that I can turn my attention to her. My life doesn't look anything like the standard CS graduate stereotype at the moment, but somehow Emacs still fits.
