It’s wonderful that this lecture by Grace Hopper at the NSA in 1982 has made its way out into the world.

It’s SO prescient on a variety of topics like distributed computing, language standards, service ownership and the leadership vacuum. She could see it all – 42 years ago.

If you work in IT today, in any capacity, it’s worth 1h30 of your time (and maybe set aside a little more to reflect on what she had to say).
