If you voted for Avni Khatri (see Women in Open Source Award) you’ll be pleased to know that she was one of two winners at the 2017 event.
Avni does so much good that the rest of us can be completely selfish! By day she is at Amazon, making our lives easier through software. By night and on her vacation days she is in Mexico helping kids in Internet-free areas gain access to offline Wikipedia, etc.
Well, Jigyasa Grover is an actual programmer. Avni Khatri is a business executive.
I’ve been using Avni’s code for 17 years, some of which she authored (for postclipper.com) within the last year. Assuming that being a hands-on coder is something to brag about, it seems that Avni needs to brag more.
Thank you, Philip, you’re the best. Thanks for all of your support.
Jack – I learned to code at 11. I learned to program at 19 by reading Philip and Jon Salz’s code.
