It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

One time people at a Cloudflare booth asked what I knew about Cloudflare, and I said "to check for a Cloudflare outage when a bunch of sites go down at once" and then quickly saved with "which means you have a huge client base! 😅"

There are people you never have the honor of knowing but you feel the ripple effects of their person and their work from the folks who have met them.
Alice Wong made waves that went far. A tremendous loss. Memory eternal.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.
I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.
May we live up to her example.
(so you don't have to go to Instagram)
