you can thank Jory, Boaz Sender, and to a far lesser but more annoying extent, me for that.

akirose: that might be a bit unknown but I remember that Valerie Young was one of the first that raised the annoying of the honorifics

at least in a discussion at Bocoup that should have been one of the initial engagements from Jory w/ Istvan to change that

I've been really fortunate to work with Valerie, she's one of the most skilled engineers I've worked with

my very first meeting, i was talking to ljharb on irc and at some point i said something to the effect of "i'm the one with blue hair". i then looked up and realized that all three women (which, 😭) in the room had varying shades of blue hair

(it was me, Valerie, & Maggie)

<ljharb>
lol, i remember that

<ljharb>
but i think i already knew valerie and maggie at that time, so it was sufficient info

The blue hair was a standard in a standards meeting. Not bad
