I met Sherry before. She gave a half talk immediately following my first live (half) talk. She was very kind to someone so nervous, haha. We've had a few short conversations, she's always been very honest and engaging.

One of the reasons I'm grateful today:

@cppnorth.bsky.social allowing me to speak at their conference, and in particular that they've given me the space to learn *speaking skills* from my own cultural perspective. This is one thing non-Indigenous folk seldom recognize or accommodate.

Carbon-C++ interop demo debut... on a C64 emulator! Couldn't have asked for a more iconic way to watch the future unfold. The vibe was on point, the message was warm & fuzzy, an emotional rollercoaster. Props to @scott.hanselman.com‬ for making a code demo a moment. 💻💖 #CarbonLang #CppNorth

I did not expect the first (public) demo of Carbon-C++ interop I saw to be on a Commodore 64 emulator at a cppnorth keynote about empathy. Great work @scott.hanselman.com
