Another historic project I produced in early 2011. This was ReachStuff to provide analytics for Halo Reach.

I've just finished reading the very enjoyable Almanack of Naval Ravikant. It's one of those rare books that made me want to read it as slowly as possible so I could really take in all the bits that resonated with me.

Von Neumann architecture This basic model of a computer as a processing unit that receives input, communicates with a memory and produces output is known as the von Nuemann architecture named after the first computer scientist John von Neumann. In this architecture, the processor itself consists of several specialized parts: The arithmetic logic unit (ALU)-the central processing unit capable of performing mathematical and logical operations..

As a career changer and a black woman, transitioning into tech has been a challenging and so far, a rewarding experience. Prior to working at Thoughtworks, I worked for more than a decade in the legal industry assisting Intellectual Property litigation attorneys. In 2016, I decided to learn to code and attended an online coding bootcamp while I was working full time. It was definitely effortful learning to code, however, I wanted to make th..

When most people think of three dimensions, they think of three positional (spatial) dimensions. Up & down, left & right, forward & back. I was thinking - instead of a positional dimension, what if we used something else that we can perceive such as color?

4300 words, 14 minutes. This post was circulated privately in April 2020. Three months later the government announced that Huawei 5G equipment will be removed from the UK by 2027, a reversal of their previous position. I’ve updated the timeline with that development. Otherwise, the text is almost unchanged from the original. Keep that in mind. It follows my July 2019post on the consideration the UK and its allies are giving to Huawei as a ..

I was asked during a recent panel on Clubhouse about assessing culture fit. What was once an innocuous term for “people who aren’t terrible human beings” has quickly become a trigger for exclusivity, gate-keeping, and homogeneity. Here are my thoughts on how things got out of hand with this hiring practice.

Retro computing Going back to the roots of your field can provide new insights into your day to day experience. For me, the roots are located in the 70s / 80s a time when personal computers were much simpler and could be fully understood by a regular person. This is a time when the most popular computers were the Vic20, Apple II and later Commodore 64. These computers booted in less than a second to a raw basic prompt. To be clear....

WFH Day 350 It’s already the last day of a perfect month. Perfect in that sense that the month started with a Monday and ended adequately on a Sunday. :-) I mentioned in my post that I was about to create my sourdough starter. It was an experiment, and I failed it. I assume that I didn’t have the right place in my house with sufficient constant temperature (this house is so badly insulated :-|). It’s a wonder that I don’t have ice flow..

Today, my Sunday long-reading list included New Yorker’s The Activists Who Embrace Nuclear Power by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow. Can nuclear power possibly be a viable solution for climate change? Twenty or even ten years ago, my answer would have been a big fat No. Today? Not so sure anymore. Today, the looming disruptions of climate change have altered the risk calculus around nuclear energy. James Hansen, the NASA scientist credited with ..

To no one's surprise, the internet has permeated all aspects of our lives. All other means of communication have dwindled in comparison, even though the technological behemoth is relatively young (around 50 years old as of 2021). Worldwide, according to statistics from 2019, people spent an average of 2 and a half hours a day on social media. The top place goes to The Philippines with 3h53min per day.
