DESCRIPTION

These are the slides from my short talk at the May 2014 EMC users' group meeting in Seattle. It's a personal story about what is possible in terms of learning to write code and to serve as encouragement for [infrastructure] engineers to develop themselves, their careers, and empathy for others in their organizations.
