We as 13 year old girls should learn to code. And then hide it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Being showered with attention is tough. It is like being on a stage all-the-time. We, as 13 year old girls, do not want that. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example<\/div>\n

Goodness, imagine the onus of having a tier one venture capitalist anoint *us*. Its like having a target on our back. Delay the inevitability of our being recognized as awesome and read lecture 15 from #CS183. <\/div>\n

As a student athlete, I had to hide the student at times and the athlete at other times. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Remember, when Trinity hacked the IRS database in MATRIX, Keanu Reeves didn’t know she was a girl. <\/div>\n

ENGR145’s something you can do as a 16 or 17 year old girl. This moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve <\/div>\n

(That’s homework #3 of 3)<\/div>\n
Text me one of the hashtags that don’t make sense and I’ll google it for you so that it does make sense. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trust me. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After you go to college, these hashtags still confuse, so you mine as well google it now<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Or google it later. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You pick<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If I were you, I’d learn it<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then hide what you know<\/div>\n
