I wrote this post halfway through the Code Chrysalis Bootcamp in Tokyo, which I highly recommend checking out.
There’s a joke you might hear when you start learning to code:
There are 10 types of people, programmers and everybody else.
Its a classic joke, but isn’t there a small problem? Today, being able to build a modern application, rarely depends on your ability to understand binary.
With modern frameworks, Computer Science concepts have been abstracted so much that what you’re writing barely looks like code. New programming languages increasingly look like human languages. …

Closures, in the programming language Javascript, describe the idea that: parts of a computer program, are hidden from other parts of the program, in neat little ‘boxes’ so that what shouldn’t be changed, isn’t changed accidentally.
The little boxes hold memory, such as numbers, words or more instructions. And the boxes are defined and filled with things when the program runs.

“Digital Transformation”, “Smart Mobility”, “Internet of Things”, “Machine Learning”!!!!!
