For people considering it: working in compilers / developer tools is a great career. The programs are deterministic and have testsuites, the problems to solve are intellectually engaging and high-impact, the colleagues are friendly and reasonable, and the hours and pay are good.

Please help me get the word out about our Women in Compilers and Tools Workshop. If you have contacts at universities in the Bay Area, please let them know. Or send the info to internal company mailing lists. eventbrite.com/e/2018-llvm-fo

Step 1: maybe read a book or two on the rough theory, for orientation. Step 2: tinker around on a mid-sized open source one, fix a few little bugs, see if it suits your taste. Step 3: apply to a company that ships a compiler. (Apple is hiring, fwiw!)

Kind of wish there were more resources out there for incremental and query driven compilation, but I guess folks are still figuring that stuff out. Bit hard to write a textbook yet!

Hey, I said I'd do it by the end of the month. I'm just busy bikeshedding about whether to use an existing wiki for that or build my own :P
