Paulette mentions in her lovely, heartfelt post (https://types.pl/@koronkebitch/116263964501595558) that she's in PL for the people. The same is true for me.

I'm teaching undergrad PL again starting in about a week, and I'm thinking that this time around, I want to use lecture time to feature PL people that I love. Maybe once a week, I could show someone's photo, say a bit about how I know them, and then read out loud to the class something written either by or about them that conveys a sense of who they are.

@lindsey You can probably pull this off much better than me, but... I taught a course on functional data structures (enriched version of core requirement) twice. The first time, I showed photos and told anecdotes, because I'd been an algorithms & complexity researcher for so long. I got slammed in the evaluations for "name-dropping". I took all that out the second time and it went much better (because the material really is marvellous).

@plragde Oof! That's unfortunate.
