Oddly enough Jon Udell’s hiring also left me feeling sad, and a little depressed.
I look back on the ‘announcements’ of new hires and moves between and to companies in the last year, and I can’t remember this same level excitement about a tech woman taking a new position. Heck, I can’t remember a tech woman even being offered such positions.
Totally irrelevant to Jon being hired at Microsoft, but that was my first thought when I heard the news.
