Yes, the narrative form gives the impression that the author is a very! excited! person! full! of! energy!
But that's kind of refreshing sometimes. It's easy to get cynical about software engineering like I am. And I followed her stream of consciousness a lot better than I follow a lot of recondite technical prose, particularly when it concerns things mired in proprietary abstractions (Java).

It is not just an impression, but her whole approach to technology. While it is good to have more cynical people too (especially for things like software stability), a company that forgets enthusiasm ends up losing its soul.
- savanaly 11y agoI think a perfect team would be one Julia, three or four cynical types, and maybe one fresh faced newbie to ask the dumb questions that nevertheless sometimes lead to something innovative.
