We Have A 70 Year Old Grandmother SWE

I’ve never seen anything like this. She joined my team 2 weeks ago as a Software Engineer. We were all beating around the bush when it came to asking her how old she was. She mentioned that her granddaughter was entering high school, and that she started programming after she retired. She got really into Java and Python, and now she’s working as a backend engineer for our team. She’s actually kind of good. She did her ceremonial first-bug really fast. Just sharing some interesting news!

That’s the best way to beat Alzheimer’s 😇 I might consider doing this too after I retire. Just be a swe and just code, no scope & impact bullshit 😂

Why "old *dog*"? You should be using gender-correct references, you insensitive clod! And jokes aside, rock on! Love the story!

I aspire to be able to pass leetcode interviews even at 70 years old

Does DoorDash do leetcode? At least for front end I don’t recall seeing a leetcode question
