The Recompiler is a #feminist #hacker #magazine, launching in Summer 2015. Our goal is to help people learn about technology in a fun, playful way, and highlight a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. We’re especially interested in infrastructure: the technical and social systems we depend on. We want to share what it’s like to learn and work with technology, and teach each other to build better systems and tools.

Bad Metaphors
►http://recompilermag.com/issues/issue-0/bad-metaphors

When explaining programming concepts, metaphors are crucial: most of us don’t automatically grasp every concept necessary to make programs work. Metaphors let us connect new material to concepts we already understand. But the metaphors that are often used to teach programming concepts are not automatically accessible to every person who wants to learn to write code.
