Back to the whole, "You need to get out & go to technical convention" thing I've been on. Just got back from a one day event: Advancing the Careers of Technical Women: Seattle, held at Zulily's hq today. Good event - yet again. But most interestingly, there were women who knew women that I knew from other events. Finally. In all my years in tech, I haven't seen this kind of "circle" occur: where I went to introduce two people together who knew each other from other circumstances.
If you're not a woman you might not get the "hugeness" of this. No. Although I've spent half my life in tech, it's a rare event when I go to introduce a woman to another woman and they know each other. I think today was my first day. They also said, "Fuck it" with verve and freedom. MY TIME HAS ARRIVED!
