I wonder how many people saying similar things have the same background, but having said that she was VP of Engineering at GitHub, and VP of Engineering at Heptio.
And started their career as a sysadmin. I don't know Dana at all, but some of the best kernel and networking people I've met got their start as sysadmins.
Good thing there is nothing in their career that actually signals they were a good network engineer and not just another do-nothing corpo elitist that wants to collect their bag while fucking over society.
Their time at GitHub doesn't inspire confidence, especially when their decisions likely lead to GitHub's current problems when they have a history of hiring nonqualified people.
