Surely one of the most unimpressive, boring people in technology. Her distinction: she was in the right place at the right time.

- nostrademons 16y agoI'm as put off as anyone by all the excess publicity she gets, but your comment doesn't really do her justice. Marissa is very, very sharp. She can rub many people the wrong way (including myself) because she's almost always completely certain that she's right. However, she is right a good portion of that time, certainly more than most people I've met. And when she's wrong, she'll always listen to data that proves her wrong, and the issue gets dropped. I can respect that.

- jimfl 16y agoThere is a significant component of "in the right place at the right time" involved with anyone of any notability. But once the wave crest comes along, one has to be able to get standing on the board.
