Dian Fay

Date:
PostgreSQL Person of the Week Interview with Dian Fay: I live in Michigan with my partner Trent, a cat named Bread, and a tarantula named Carmilla. I’m originally from the Florida panhandle, but I moved up here for school lo these many years ago and wound up sticking around – it’s nice having seasons. My mother taught me how to type on her old Selectric when I was six or seven (my handwriting never recovered), and my father taught me BASIC when I was eight by copying code listings out of his Sky & Telescope magazines. In other words, I never stood a chance.
