Kathy Sierra Comeback

It was barely a week before the conference when they announced that Kathy Sierra would be a surprise special guest keynote speaker at ooPSLA. The second I read that on the web site I was excited. I adore Kathy Sierra. Her blog has offered countless insights on software engineering, usability, passion and people.
I saw Kathy speak at CUSEC 2006, and it still sticks in my head as one of (if not the) best presentation at CUSEC. Ever. So even though she was giving the “Creating Passionate Users” speech at ooPSLA, and even though that was the same talk I had already seen, I made sure to attend Kathy’s keynote – and give her greetings from Ed.
Kathy hinted that she might be coming back to the blogging world, and I sincerely hope she does. The world needs people like her, even if it doesn’t always deserve her.
That’s really cool man! David Parnas, Kathy Sierra… that was quite the conference!
“The world needs people like her, even if it doesn’t always deserve her.” I could not agree more. Glad she’s thinking about us :)
