Hi I'm Elanora, I'm a fullstack engineer, currently redoing my personal site and relearning how to walk after a cycling injury lol. My favorite feeling in this industry is looking at something I contributed to and being proud enough to attempt to explain why it is cool to my non-technical friends and family. I like to bring that energy to every project I work on and team I work with. Feel free to email me or contact me on the LinkedIn linked in my resume.

I don't understand the Musk fandom in the comments, I've never seen anything to signal to me he's been anything but a savvy investor? He's a better engineer than the average finance bro sure, but seems far from notable in any discipline this site typically cares about? His acquisition of Twitter destroyed the lives of many hard working people and has made it okay for many more companies to follow similar dark patterns (insane API pricing, furthering content lockdown, probably other stuff I don't like to see in the industry)

The Wikipedia Manual of Style is a good guide to cases like this

To answer your question, she/her is correct, and a brief note that she went by Walter at the time is sufficient to avoid confusion.

As I understand it, yes. According to my friends who vape, Juul is still way ahead of everyone in the juice department. So much better they'll spend close to $60 a week on the stuff...

Pretty sure that's more expensive per volume than printer ink!

Honestly, unless you absolutely need Windows for critical programs/drivers, I would look into switching to Linux. While there are super hardened distros such as Qubes, even something more user friendly such as Debian and Fedora would be much more trustworthy than Windows 7. Ubuntu would likely be a good place to start if you are completely new as well. They've had their scandals, and the kernel is very large and much harder to audit than the other two, but I would still feel better using it than Windows 7 privacy wise.
