This TED talk
by Jennifer Pahlka,
the founder of Code For America,
is inspiring.
Code For America
is non-profit
providing fellowships
to top coders,
allowing them
to spend a year
writing programs and apps
for all levels of government.
As Jennifer Pahlka shares
“They haven’t given up on government.
They’re frustrated as hell about it
but they’re not complaining about it.
They’re fixing it.”
These codes and programs
are open source.
Once built,
they can benefit everyone everywhere.
And what amazes me
is what a difference a simple app
can make.
What can you do
to make the world you live in
a bit better?
