Who are the true makers of marvels? Who are the people who make technological miracles possible? Abby believes it goes deeper than just what’s on the surface. Sure an architect designed the golden gate bridge and gets all the praise. But it’s the engineers that made it possible. Sure Steve Jobs and the people at Apple, conceived and designed the iPhone. But it’s the app developers who truly made it what it is today. Abby has a working theory that developers are the real heroes of tech and she delves below the surface of the tech ocean to show us why, how and much much more.
