Christin Gorman
This morning, a tweet came across my time line:
Strongly recommended for all the people who position themselves as a software professionals. Thanks again @ChristinGorman https://t.co/DMY4Fsc1vm

and watching the talk I was reminded of what a great speaker Christin is, in my opinion she’s clearly one of Norways best.
But as you’ll see from the talk, she is not only a great speaker, she also has strong opinions, many of which she expresses in her blog over here (mainly in Norwegian, where her focus lately has been the ridiculous amount of money that the public sector in Norway is throwing after large consultancies running monster projects which we know are doomed to fail even before they’re started.
So as I was watching the video I linked to over, I was thinking, maybe todays Advent of Parens post should be a post saying that I basically think she is really damn impressive!
And then, when I come home, I see this tweet

Being told my opinions don't matter because I'm irrational and don't know what I'm talking about, I need to read the documentation, blablabla.
How's your day going?
Which simply makes me want to say, hang in there Christin! You are the one who knows what you’re talking about!
And for the rest of you, if you’re ever in need of a speaker at your conference, or a strong voice in your panel, you know who to contact.
