        @kragen @AndreaKuszewski @paulg I think I could identify within 3 months whether a not-so-far-hacker had the potential to be a hacker.

        @AndreaKuszewski @kragen @paulg Well, and, I mean, I hacked around with BASIC as a kid and then quit for ten years and now look at me.

        @AndreaKuszewski I do think @kragen has the right of it when he says the intuition @paulg is on about is hard to activate systematically.

        @maradydd That's true. But years of experience doesn't guarantee that. Intuition can be taught to those who have the 'thing' @kragen @paulg

        .@paulg It takes more than deep, lifetime's worth of, knowledge to be an innovator. Sometimes that actually hinders creativity.

        .@paulg You can learn about a new domain at any point in life and still be a worthy contributor to that new field. This means women, too.

        .@paulg Entering a new domain, you bring knowledge & insights from previous fields of knowledge, that sometimes leads to highest innovation.

        .@paulg You don't think women chose CS major because they intrinsically liked it... but men did? Why the sexist division of passion? (2/2)
