Quantum computing? Learning and teaching complex topics with Anastasia Marchenkova
Anastasia Marchenkova, a software engineer and a quantum computing researcher. Some of you may know her by her Youtube channel, where she talks about super interesting topics like quantum computing, AI, blockchain and software engineering etc. What makes her channel special in my opinion is how entertaining yet educating it is.
The reason why we're here today is to learn about Anastasia's journey to becoming an engineer and a researcher. I already know that this path hasn't been straightforward and includes multiple detours, for example creating her own startup. We're also going to learn about her habits, learning methods and other universal knowledge you can use to become a better developer.
