Shlomi Fish's Writings about Computing
Being a software developer, that is also very interested in computers and like to program for fun, I started conveying some of my thoughts about computing and this field's social aspect in various essays I wrote. I hope to concentrate all of them under this section of the homepage.
Some of these essays will require some technical knowledge, but most of them can be read by anyone with a pseudo-technical background.
