On research mathematicians' familiarity with technology

Stream: general

[Alex Kontorovich]

Vignette from a lecture today at IAS. Speaker says: "I have the code for this on my github." Sarnak: "What is this github"?

(Three years ago I also would not have known!...)

[Kim Morrison]

So did someone show Sarnak how to make a PR after the lecture? :-)

I had a software patent lawyer once ask me what GitHub was. :face_palm:
