learned so much since my last tweet in January! what an awesome semester with #BCSwift

[@[email protected] @gallaugher]

Ever want to meet a friend at a half-way point and figure out where to meet and what to do? #BCSwift student @ademilt30 solves that problem in her first-ever app. Nice work, Annie!

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Building my first iOS app! Excited to learn Swift this semester. #BCSwift #iOSCodeCrush

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

@reshamjariwala So relevant to our Zoom today, too! Margaret Stewart reminded us that we need to "bake" principles of responsibility into the design of emerging technologies. Ethics should be of the most concern #BCSTT #M

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Our chat with @mags today was one of my favorites of the semester. She articulated so well what our responsibility is after finishing up this class...embrace human optimism and innovation, but sprinkle in some techno-realism with it #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Seems like this is right out of a movie. Wow. #BCSTT

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

This is the future of AI powered smart and sustainable energy cities

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

This has been a topic through quite a few of our Zooms, and we've met people through a great range of ages. Do you spend a couple of years in a mature company and then later move to a startup? Although this statistic may be true, I think it depends on the person #BCSTT #M

[Inc. @Inc]

A 60-year-old founder is 3 times as likely to found a successful startup as a 30-year-old founder. https://t.co/AvLpvkUktW

@Harrington__ @alecreiss1 Agreed. It would be helpful for debugging and cleaning up code, but learning how to write it yourself definitely comes first #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

This is a pretty neat platform. Could've used it for my last programming assignment... #BCSTT

[Product Hunt 😸 @ProductHunt]

It's Grammarly but for your code. @SourceryAI uses A.I to automatically review and correct issues on the fly so you can focus on building

I've been looking for new podcasts to listen to. Here's a definitive list related to developing an entrepreneurial mindset, but I'm curious...what are your favorite podcasts? #BCSTT #M

[Inc. @Inc]

Never stop learning. https://t.co/r5kNgQsKg9

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

I really enjoyed learning about the importance of building and maintaining relationships throughout Tech Trek. What was everyone's favorite lesson from this semester? #BCSTT #M

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Felt inspired to look at some Apple ads following our discussion with @krisdickinson today. She's right- Apple's loyal customer base totally starts with the "why." Their mission is everything. Here's one of my favorites: https://t.co/0FwgGZmYqF #BCSTT

@gracemckenna003 On days where I actually have breaks between my Zoom classes, I am so much more productive. Those busy, back-to-back days are absolutely exhausting, and as soon as I log off of my computer all I want to do is hop into bed... #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Crazy to consider that some of the future's largest industries don't even exist yet. Who else thinks that the world's next biggest company will be a tech company? #BCSTT

[The Motley Fool @themotleyfool]

There's a good chance that the world's biggest company in the year 2040 doesn't exist yet.

Isn't that exciting to think about?

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

@charlie_chen168 I think that putting the engineering in the hands of car companies is a definitely good move. Will hopefully prevent fatal AV accidents like Uber had in 2018 and ensure the proper development of vehicles for Lyft #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Awesome read about BC grad @meaganloyst's Gen Z VCs and how she's working to diversify the VC world. Confident that this generation is going to be the one to break down barriers and glass ceilings in VC #BCSTT #M https://t.co/MBWztR8mLD

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Leave it to Elon Musk to incentivize Earth Day. I'm hopeful that his 4 year long competition will generate meaningful solutions for the climate crisis #BCSTT

[Reuters Science News @ReutersScience]

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday offered inventors $100 million in prize money to develop ways to fight global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or ocean.​ https://t.co/yrFju7gkTB

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

@bczenati Agreed. This reminds me of @JennLeonard7's blog post this week. There are SO many risks with exposing younger children to social media...I hope this gets scrapped for the sake of the next generation #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

@JacksonCGoodman I just read an article about how Netflix's reported subscriptions for Q1 were around 2M short of the company's projections. Competitors like Disney+ will continue this decline in the leader's market share...I don't think Netflix will be top dog forever #BCSTT

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

Venmo just announced the launch of crypto on the app. Big move that will surely impact and accelerate the infiltration of crypto into our daily lives #BCSTT https://t.co/KWdZb94Hoo

[Annie DeMilt @ademilt30]

@reshamjariwala @amazon @Apple I'll have to agree with Helen on this one. Don't think the Echo Buds will give AirPods a run for their money at all. Too many people appreciate the design, quality, and prestige of the AirPod to even think about purchasing what looks like a knockoff. #BCSTT
