i wish i were as rich as my fellow software engineers so that i can support her work because i'm convinced we need it in a world where people no longer have the same opportunities i had to learn this kind of tech because their smartphones inadvertently hide needful knowledge in the abstractions that make smartphones work.
She does a great job. Im trying to add in a couple of her videos when I see them into the different communities. I usually go to
awkto be honest, so I completely blanked oncolumns. I knew it existed from like 10 years ago, but forgot what I can use it for. I learned something form this video :)We need more entertaining Linux/open source people.
Veronica is awesome and deserves a bigger following, no doubt.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
