I’m wrapping up my first whirlwind week @Microsoft! I am thrilled to join as VP, Azure Apps and Infrastructure. There is incredible potential to change the world with cloud technologies and Azure has the best solutions for customers and partners on the planet. The journey begins!
Devs are the engine of "dig transformation", leaders must shift thinking towards ..."Retaining top talent requires an environment where developers are treated like innovators, not code writers, and are active participants in the business." zdnet.com/article/time-to-re…
Still sitting with how powerful this moment is to #America#BlackWomen and this makes me hopeful the next generation of “outsiders” doesn’t feel that weight of otherness. We all belong in these spaces #Persevere ! nbcdfw.com/news/national-int…
"Seed Corn Must Not Be Ground" final lithograph of Käthe Kollwitz, 1942. The death of her son in battle in 1914 profoundly affected the artist, who expressed her grief by creating many prints on the theme of mothers protecting their children from the horrors of war #WomensArt
💔If you have a team or colleague in Europe, reach out. My team in Poland in 2014 taught me so much about the regional interplay and their own personal history. If you work in tech remember there are 200k developers in Ukraine. Praying for them and the world today.
Beware, your heart may just melt at the very sight of this adorable Newfie mix named Oswald. 😍 Oswald's favorite things are treats and baby talk. Our favorite things about Oswald are his tiny little salt & pepper toes, and his whole body wiggles. Adopt: kitsap-humane.org/adopt/avai…
On MLK Day I reflect on the 1963 "I have a dream speech". His unpopular post '63 and loud voice on income equality, voter rights, poverty, justice, war and socialism were his real legacy. #MLKDay2022

I love this thread @norootcause. It’s a great guide to how to think about a career, or career change to CS. It is about problem solving and autonomy and that is why it’s so cool. @shanselman@ashtom
As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.
How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

1/People are asking why at conferences like #MSIgnite, we do a description of ourselves (I’m an Asian woman wearing a floral dress etc). It’s to create an equitable experience for blind/low-vision folk or those who aren’t looking at the screen.
Dashed back from Italy just in time for…
