The First Women Trained To Conquer Space - Supercluster

The cosmonaut counterparts of the Mercury women astronauts: Zhanna Yorkina, Irina Solovyova, Tatyana Kuznetsova, Valentina Ponomareva, and Valentina Tereshkova.

Ponomareva recalled there being no envy between the women in the squad. According to her, it was a healthy spirit of competition. Everyone did their best to be number one, but also supported each other’s efforts.

One of those cosmonauts went to space: none of the women training for the Mercury missions did. There would be a shockingly gap of twenty years between the launch of Valentina Tereshkova and the launch of Sally Ride.

prettydiff/wisdom: Building better developers by specifying criteria of success

I frequently see web developers struggling to become better, but without a path or any indication of clear direction. This repository is an attempt to sharing my experiences, and any contributions, that can help provide such a direction.

It’s broken down into four parts:

• 10 Domains of Web Development
• • Accessibility
• • Architecture
• • Data
• • Events and Interaction
• • Internationalization / Localization
• • Presentation
• • Security
• • Semantics
• • Transmission
• • Understandability / Content
• Interviewing for Web Developers
• Productivity for Web Developers
• Web Training Hierarchy
• 1. Level 1 - Writing Code
• 1. Level 2 - Accessibility and Security
• 1. Level 3 - Architecture
• 1. Level 4 - Innovation

I don’t necessarily agree with everything here (and I really don’t like the “rockstar” labelling), but that’s okay:

Anything written here is open to debate and challenges are encouraged.
