At Wahine Coder, we value our Hawaiʻi roots which means that we prioritize the accurate use of Hawaiian words and concepts when delivering cultural content in print and digital media. We think it is important to double check our work to respectfully honor language and culture. After all, as coders, we have a passion for languages and the nuances associated with each one.
The biggest barriers that could prevent you from getting into technology aren’t the complexity of computers nor whether you are intelligent enough — they are barriers in opportunity. Your success is largely dependent on whether you have the determination and patience to navigate an overwhelming amount of information in a constantly growing industry, and whether you have access to a support group to keep you motivated and hold you accountable in your journey. Learning to code is much more of a long-term quest than a weekend jaunt and you have to be in it for the long-haul.
