If there is anything to be said about Software Developers, it is that they are a pragmatic lot. It's amazing how many I have spoken with lately in distinct industries who are already planning their next career change on a 5 year horizon. These are brilliant coders.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
