The main thing that I learned from my horrible job experiences was how horrible they were.

My feminism has evolved way beyond self-empowerment and I see feminism as a path to peace on earth. The fundamental imbalance that is behind all of the other social diseases is patriarchy.

It's [programming] the only job I can think of where I get to be both an engineer and an artist.

On the other hand, it has a wildly creative side where the boundaries of imagination are the only real limitation.

Career is the stringing together of opportunities and jobs. Mix in public opinion and past regrets. Add a dash of future panic and a whole lot of financial uncertainty.
