Public speaking for normal people
I just gave a presentation on 42Floors to 150 people. It went well. I was really proud of: 1) our team, 2) our product and 3) the way we were able to present it. It was as if we were telling people about it in our living room, but there just happened to be 150 people there. Afterwards, several people told me that it…

My experiences at a woman's programming workshop
I heard about a Python tutorial that was going on this weekend, and with well over a decade of Python experience, I decided to volunteer to help students.

Nobody’s going to steal your idea
When I was working on my dissertation, I thought someone might scoop my research and I'd have to start over. Looking back, that was ridiculous. For one thing, my research was too arcane for many others to care about. And even if someone had proven one of my theorems, there would still be something original
