If you haven't heard of Jessie Frazelle, definitely check out her work. As others have expressed, she's a brilliant engineer, speaker, and writer. If I were in charge of hiring, I'd have recruiters pestering the hell out of her to join my team. Seriously, she's one of my favorite people that I've never met :)
I tried to hire her and failed. :-(

Show me what she's done. Don't just show me she's done something and has a feminine sounding name.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are lots of potential reasons. Some things I've considered doing it for (many of which have alternative solutions, but nevertheless) Different network configurations per browser. This is useful for doing things like checking geo-targetting via VPNs etc. Better security isolation. Chrome is pretty good at this, but if you want to run a suspicious add-on this is a good way to do it. Better isolation for scriptabl…

By your description I thought she'd just created 5 or so examples, I wasn't expecting such a breadth of stuff! Did she talk about advantages/disadvantages to this approach? Does she use this daily?

Hmm, is there a reason this is on HN today? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to learn about interesting individuals, I just feel like I might be missing some context here. Did she win an award or do something particularly noticeable recently?
Oh, you mean why was it submitted & upvoted? Frankly, I never know why any particular story takes off whereas others do not. E.g., First Steve Yegge blog post in 5 years didn't even make 1st page of HN! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12979108)
Guess you'd have to ask everyone who up-voted why they did.
The more you try to force equality, the less equal we become. Can you imagine any of the thousands of bearded men with similarly interesting credentials being posted to the front page of HN simply by their name? Show me what she's done. Don't just show me she's done something and has a feminine sounding name.

I see bunch of comments of ppl trying hard to hire her. I've been trying to get a job in devops space too, trying to get an idea what makes this person so appealing.
