I'm not sure I'd be as successful as I am as a woman in a profession other than in technology. Because it tends to be a bit neutral. If you have the tools, if you can code, it's a lot more sort of merit and recognizes talent.

'Upstream Color' in particular, it's got to infect culture at some level in order to have a life of its own.
