This is one of my favorites. People think of creativity as this sort of unbridled thing, but engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: 'We know you said it was impossible, but we're going to do this, this, and that to get us there.'

I love technology, and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.

I pace myself by taking a week-long vacation every four months.

I like to stay in the rhythm of things.

To me, speed is really about convenience.

People are more productive when they're alone, but they're more collaborative and innovative when they're together.

Shifting toward management meant greater responsibility and influence, but it also meant giving up programming day-to-day in my role, which was hard because it took me out of my comfort zone.
