Hi, I'm Leda
I'm a software engineer
This is ELIDA, my digital assistant.
Who?
Canis Ledus is indigenous to Northern Germany, where the member of the species delights in the flatness of the land. The humidity as well as the sea breeze are essential to this wild animal's survival and thrival.
While many have attempted to domesticate this noble creature, its unusual hostility towards children based on a primitive and visceral fear of small human beings makes it unfit as a family pet. This unfortunate condition is being currently remedied with decent exposure under the observation of capable veterinarians.
To help people is this incredible specimen's foremost desire and greatest joy in life and through stubborn determination, quick wit, and sheer audacity, she claims all things are possible. Her territorial cry generally sounds like a pleasant, "How may I help?"
Leda's text-based adventure
You are born in 1991 in Ukraine, it's a different time, and a different place. You are the product of centuries of resentment, so you find another settlement.
Working with Leda
I had the pleasure of working closely with Leda, and without a doubt, she stands out as one of the most exceptional individuals I've had the privilege to collaborate with. Her energy is contagious, and she knows how to keep the vibe positive and fun in our team. But don't let her playful side fool you; when it comes to work, she's all business. Leda's got this knack for seeing the big picture and making sure our projects are not just good for now but set up for success down the road. Plus, her testing skills? They're next level. Our applications are practically bulletproof because of her attention to detail. She's not just a coworker; she's a friend you can count on. Always ready to lend an ear or offer a helping hand. She consistently goes above and beyond to support her teammates. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in her future endeavors, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for any opportunity she pursues.

Anything nice I can say about Mother will be discounted as nepotism, however I must mention this woman's unwavering focus that makes her such an effective keyboard-clickity-clacker, she delights both in the Click as well as the Clack! Though I'm starving on an hourly basis, it does not seem to affect her dedication to the Shiny Windows. Please let the Authorities know that I am but a poor puppy that needs high-quality food.

I got the opportunity to work with Leda at Grover. She was my mentor during that time, and I just have good words to describe her. She is the most brilliant, honest, and funny person I've met, she helped me not only improve my technical skills, but to overcome personal challenges and blockers that didn't allow me to truly trust myself. Blockers that I didn't even know I had and she cleverly pointed out, always from a place of respect and empathy. She taught me so much, and even though we are not working together anymore, I know I am taking these learnings with me wherever I go.

I Hope This Finds You Well (2024)
by Natalie Sue
Rating: 5 / 5 stars
You know what's so lovely about literature?
Every book isn't just a small window into its author's mind, it's also a mirror that allows you to see your own issues.
Depending on how far you are in therapy, you might see Jolene as a villain with no redeeming qualities or an alcoholic who's drinking away her own perceived inadequacy and whose lying and cheating stems from a mountain of shame so high, she can't see how she fits in this world. But make no mistake, whether or not any one person deserves forgiveness is really not up to you. It's sad that we are deluded into thinking we know someone from our vague idea of who they are, armed with simple-sounding half-truths like "Actions speak louder than words" and our notion of what the word "psychotic" actually means. Don't get me wrong, you decide if you want to forgive someone based on how they've wronged you, that is your right. But if you have an opinion on how this book should end, this is no longer a case of self-defense.
Natalie Sue makes it all the more clear by introducing a vivid and complex set of characters who are lovable and flawed, in a way most people are. They know each other from work, but they don't know each other well enough. And chapter, after meticulous chapter, she lets you in on their deepest and most shameful secrets, so that you understand and relate to how they perceive the world and most importantly, themselves.
It's nothing short of masterful how she weaves in cultural differences and trauma into a picture that could have been a very successful piece of romance fiction, but because of how empathetic and wise she is, it's so much more than that.
