Really good talk. I got into programming because I found it fun in a creative way like her. Loved it all through university, did super well there too. Deeply regret pursuing it as a career now, and I can't stand talking to other programmers. Lately I've been doing html that tries to emulate how one would interact with something physical and that's been fun :3

    Thank you for sharing this! She names so many of the thoughts/feelings I have had and many new ones and puts them together so well, I admire her and want to go learn and study with/from her. Genuinely, this is important and gets at the heart of why so much tech is... what it is (mostly useless (if incredibly cool) trash).

  • I really enjoyed this talk, I feel disillusioned with my career in programming and I feel that the talk hits on a lot of good points
