This is a great opportunity for me, to keep helping communities and doing what I love with the support of Microsoft.
Princeton rejected her application, because they didn't accept women at the time. She went somewhere else to get her education, and ended up changing the programming world forever with Abstract Data Types.

Time to do "BorgesConf". A conference where we relate concepts from Borges into Computer Science/Software Engineering:
Garden of the Forking Paths: multithreading
Circular Ruins: recurrence
Funes the Memorious: abstraction
Pierre Menard: AI
The Other: working with legacy code
"Betty said she spent half her time trying to figure out what people needed in computers, and the other half convincing an engineer it was his idea, so the work would be done."
Este gurí es más inteligente y tiene más tacto que varios profesionales que me cruzo día a día.
1) Arranca diciendo que no es de él la solución, da crédito a otros.
2) Dice que es fácil, "si tenés las herramientas"
3) Explica el problema y la solución
4) Acepta feedback
Engineer: “I can write that code.”
Senior Engineer: “Should we write that code?”
Staff Engineer: “We should delete that code.”
Principal Engineer: “Delete all the code.”
The problem with the "10x engineer" is that it's full of unidemnsional guys out there that think they are a 10x engineer.

Today I gave a presentation about Microsoft Fabric at the Microsoft AI Tour stop in Bengaluru. Same stage as

Yes, every millennial whose parents could afford a computer. I could probably count with one hand the kids in my hometown that could actually have this picture
No me gusta hablar mucho de la política de Uruguay, pero hoy amerita hacerlo.
QEPD María Auxiliadora. La conocí de forma fortuita en Shanghai. Cuando le pedí una foto al presidente ella lo cinchó del brazo y le dijo “vení que este chico quiere sacarse una foto”.
Y de Argentina te digo esto. Si tomás la ruta 3 y la seguís hasta el punto más al sur en Tierra del Fuego, literalmente donde termina el mundo, qué te encontrás? Una cancha de fútbol. La pasión por el fútbol no se fabrica en laboratorios.
The best conspiracy theory I've heard is the one that claims Disney released the movie Frozen so searches for Walt Disney Frozen body would return wrong results.

Programming advice from 1976 by Glenford Myers from IBM Research
“The programmer’s goal must be writing source code for the primary audience of people instead of machines”
If you ask me what to read to advance in your career, I'd tell you:
Read about Feminism, Diversity, Equality, Design Thinking, Narrative, Philosophy and mix some Fiction in it.
The technical stuff? You _will have to_ read about that, don't worry about it.
We cross the Atlantic to talk about Kathleen Booth, writer of the first Assembly Language, Machine Learning Pioneer, Machine Translation Pioneer, and the list goes on. Truly amazing.

You know what’s cool? Starting to read the history of computing from Italian sources. Definitely not the same history you hear from Silicon Valley sources.

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
Imagine when some companies have the face to go out and say they lowered the bar when they hire people from South America. I mean… coding in a nationwide electricity blackout!
Congrats to Luis for his persistence 👏👏👏

I was just talking with a friend that’s feeling insecure about her current job, and...
not sure how to tell this clearer to women, but that position you feel insecure about? A dude with half your qualifications applied and it’s probably gonna get the job
