She can interview and talk with whomever she wants, in whatever way she wants. Take it or leave it. --- Quote from: Circuiteromalaguito on May 31, 2015, 01:25:17 am ---Pink hair, cool place, collecting AoE editions, interrupting him in the interview all time... Is it a way to hide their lack of background? Does she want so much attention? --- End quote --- Your comment says more about yourself then about her. --- End quote --- No, I don't think people are saying that she owes them something at all, you are reading in far too much into it as far as I am concerned. If you've ever had a discussion with someone who thinks they know it all, and doesn't, and repeatedly keeps trying to finish your sentences for you (often incorrectly) it becomes irritating. Perhaps she may have been playing dumb, maybe she's a damn good actress, but to me it was a case of engaging mouth before engaging brain. There was a similar situation recently with another interviewer talking with Sophie Wilson but not to quite the same extent. As I stated before, I am all for go getters and people who add value, and Ladyada has certainly achieved that, she has nothing to prove, end of story. But that doesn't mean she's automatically good at interviewing. We all have skills in certain areas, we can't all automatically be good at everything. It's down to a style and knowing when to listen and when to add to conversation. And no, I'm not saying I'd do any better, far from it in fact, but that also does not exclude me from having an opinion either. Edit: for readability due to embedded url. |

--- Quote from: Circuiteromalaguito on May 31, 2015, 11:55:44 am --- But I'm tired of people that have too much style or proffessional ass lickers and gets all the credit or even appropiated others' work, I suffered that in many stuff I did and it's one of the reasons I abandoned many interests. And often times the nerdy people are really hard working on it or even the people struggling at it and having difficulties with the topics but nobody cares of them. Of course I envy their money and resources, who's not in my position! --- End quote --- This is way off base if you're referring to Limor. She has bachelors and master's degrees from MIT. She designed and built several cool things before running Adafruit became her main gig. Have a look HERE for more info on what she's done. The Wavebubble she designed and built for her Masters thesis is especially cool IMO. I'd love to build one. |

--- Quote from: MDG on May 31, 2015, 01:58:12 pm --- I took Physics 123 from Paul Horowitz many years ago. At least from the perspective of a student, I can say that he really is a very nice guy. He is an excellent teacher. I remember he was very approachable, patient, happy to answer questions, and he exuded an infectious enthusiasm for electronics (and physics). --- End quote --- Nice to hear. That is exactly the same impression I got from watching the video. I''m looking forward to the interview with Hill. |
