Why have the buttons on just one side? That means I can effectively only read with one hand. I basically just want a paperwhite with page turn buttons on both sides.

While I sort of get the point the author is trying to make, you're not going to become more creative without trying to become creative. It's not about just waiting for something to happen - it's about putting the work in. Motivation is overrated, discipline is what you need.
heisnotanalien··on Slack got four of its black female engineers to accept a startup award
Honestly I'm not very well versed in this space to have a real opinion. On a personal level, I judge people by their abilities rather than their race or gender though I fully appreciate that there are difficulties with this.

It does seem to me that class isn't talked about though. Sorry but a middle-class Ivy league black woman is not of a lower status than a white working-class male.
