For our ongoing series called "Girls Who Code", this episode Paul and Kelly sit down with Ellen, who is a junior studying computer science. We discuss how Ellen fell in love with computer science, the stereotypes of a hacker, favorite programming languages, and Ellen's plans to intern at Amazon.... and is there an intern battle between Microsoft and Amazon? Paul likes to think so.
