As someone who considered Evi a boss, a mentor, and a friend thank you for posting this. I worked in the CU labs along with many others and TA’d her systems admin and network programming classes. I shared a office (which she occasionally slept in) and learned the art of solving operational issues by watching her break down root causes. Perspectives like hers are really missing now, and I would love to get her take on women in engineering now.

Godspeed..

Big fan of her UNIX book, I used it a lot during my early days of AIX janitoring! Thank you Evi!

It seems like there’s so few prolific writers in the sysadmin space. James Turnbull is another who’s work has been invaluable to my career.

Thanks, Evi. You were kind to me when I was very young and very stupid.
