She also had multiple treatments for brain cancer. Though I think that was before this project I imagine such a thing takes a considerable toll.
- beAbU 3y agoOh yes and that! Must've been a terrible experience. So yeah, "3 years" is a little click-baity, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do for marketing.

- marcomourao 3y agoI love dark humour but this isn't even funny or clever.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoIt’s the most extreme version of clickbait for the situation! You can’t prove that it didn’t!
- yard2010 3y agoIt's so nice she got over it! She's really like a sunshine
- TaupeRanger 3y agoShe did not have brain cancer. She had a benign tumor that was surgically removed.
- Gare 3y agoShe also underwent radiation treatment because parts were around her optical nerve.
- kayfox 3y agoI think the main delay is probably turnaround time on later prototypes. It takes a while to get something custom made, get injection molds done, get a prototype out of them, so like the idea is that she would have been working on this for 3 years, but not constantly on it for free years. Getting anything done with custom PCBs is the same sorta design, order, wait, assemble, test, repeat process. So while it may take 50~250 hours of work to make just the electrical portion of a DEF CON badge, that 50~250 hours may take place over 6 months.
