Nice article about an interesting person. Inventive, full of energy; qualities I wish I had. It's interesting to see how she started as a software engineer (like me) and ended up as a VP. I can't see myself making that same jump although it's interesting to see how someone else did.

Wish I was smart enough to go to Stanford.

OK, she's cute, on several levels. I don't know what was more surprising, that she is a geek with style or an American with same. But the talking so fast that it's dazzling? Phleaaaaaaase. Since Xerox Parc, the trick is public domain: use twice as many words to say the same thing. Easy with practice. And a tad boring. Still, a cool motivating story. Back to hacking!

Offhand comments like that are annoying on several different levels.

Look at it this way: the first million was probably almost enough to cover her student loans.

Printer friendly version: http://www.sanfranmag.com/print/node/6516 article runs 13 friggin pages...

The "printer friendly" version has no breaks between paragraphs for me (Firefox 2 on Ubuntu 7.10)... that happen to anyone else?

So it may be friendly to the printer, but I definitely can't read it.

Very painful, but a good read.
