A dimly lit cloud of a shadow of doubt. Wednesday, May 06, 2015. Discussion of software apprenticeships at All Girl Hack Night. At the March meeting of All Girl Hack Night, a startup founder Diana Griffin and two women developers - Tricia and Autumn - talked about software development apprenticeships they did at Diana's startup, GirlsGuild. A startup's decision to take apprentices. In Tricia's case, it turned out to be true. She went into apprenticeship to gain experience she couldn't gain otherwise.

A talk by Ping Fu at SXSW 2013 blended, in an odd way, self-help advice and 3D-printing technology. The only thing in common between the two may be her own personality, which, like those raw materials shaped into an infinite collection of shapes, succeeded by flexibility and adaptability. Mobile 3D-printer. This guy and another one with a similar printer walked up and down the aisles...

A dimly lit cloud of a shadow of doubt. Tuesday, July 01, 2014. What can go wrong at a hackathon, or Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Or could explain it to developers. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Maddy (left), our unofficial team lead and Python expert, and Anna.
