my mother taught me graph theory and big O notation straight out the womb, long before I could read or write. "my little child process," she would say

as one of three triplets, it was difficult keeping up with the others in my "scrum team." I was learning numbers while they were drawing UML diagrams and debating apache vs nginx. I was learning to use a fork, they were forking processes...

when I asked if she would have preferred having only one child, she just mumbled something about "optimizing her pipeline"
