Coders

Résumé du livre

This book takes us close to some of the great coders of our time and unpacks the surprising history of the field. Programmers, the author argues, are among the most quietly influential people on the planet. As we live in a world made of software, they're the architects. The decisions they make guide our behavior. When they make something newly easy to do, we do a lot more of it. If they make it hard or impossible to do something, we do less of it. If we want to understand how today's world works, we ought to understand something about coders. Who exactly are the people that are building today's world?
