For Mini: What became/are your go-to strategies for keeping your "razor sharp focus"--for example, the Pomodoro method? What focus tips & tricks are most valued at PayPal--and why? For Mary: I love that you "began developing software while earning an MBA and running a horse farm"! In 2020, my husband & I started our homestead in rural South Carolina, and we want to infuse the homestead with sustainable, secure, and reliable technology for security/efficiency/convenience. What would you recommend? For Monica: I can imagine that "crafting reliable payment services" and "optimizing systems" might have meant you had to work some late nights or used a flex work approach. If late nights were involved, how did you converse with your spouse to minimize arguments & resentment?
