Thanks to everyone for the fascinating discussion!<br>
<br>
re BASIC, UNIX, bugs becoming features, modularities, abstraction levels, algorithms, ontologies, taxonomies, et al ...<br>
I am seeking more references to specific cases about how those in marginal positions [rank, job classification, domain, age, class, sexuality, ethnicity, 'race,' gender, disability, nationality] might have been engaged in significant innovations, perhaps as
yet unacknowledged/unreported with respect to computing work? That is, has the experience of being 'in the margins' enabled some people to see, if not outside the box, at least most of the box from their distinctive position at the edge?<br>
Cheers,<br>
