A fellow author noted that English sounds like hissing. Naturally, I wrote a haiku, with a sneaky Rick and Morty reference 🐍 Sub to allygilbert.substack.com for more ✍️

@ryrobyrne Thoughts from academic/startup exp: Labs are slow to produce research. Studios sound like a fair alternative, benefitting career prospects. But. Grants are competitive, under-funded and slow. And the university umbrella can limit raising outside investment. Maybe crowdfund?

🧵 Of course this is just an idea, and getting from here to there would be difficult. But I truly believe software thrives in small, autonomous teams, and this matches the size and flexibility of research labs. I would love to hear any thoughts, questions or feedback!

"Sounds great for well-funded labs, but it would widen the gap between rich and less-rich." Actually, university RSE teams would widen the gap, only wealthy institutions could afford them. Studios can collaborate across institutions, democratising access to high-quality tools.

My mind takes me far but my heart dreams of return. South Africa will always have my heart, while my mind travels back to London.

Being a woman isn't a sentence to be served. It isn't obedience, sweetness, passivity, or waiting your turn. To me, “woman” means beauty, confidence, empathy, power and agency. Being a woman means having the capacity to achieve greatness, love deeply, and create immeasurably.
