! My advisors' high expectations made this talk the most polished talk I have given so far. I enjoyed my first in-person PL conference very much, thanks to everyone who talked with me!

Hi I'm Yuka, and I shouldn't take physics as an elective because I'm female.

Introduce yourself with the wildest feedback you’ve ever received. I’ll go first: “Hi I’m Amy. I’m too ambitious

Tackling random Xcode build system crap, I'm thinking that the Clang autocompletion project that I did for the GSoC helped me familiarize myself with Clang flags, and realize that it was 5 years ago. 5 years!? Where did my time go?

Can someone build a build system that just works out of the box for me? Thanks!

I was doing HCI/graphics research in my undergrad, so #pldi2022 was the first PL conference that I've been to. Overall, I felt that PLDI was more social and friendly, but the attendees were less diverse. Would love to see more PL conferences held in visa-friendly places!

I think it is not well understood that Chinese people living outside of the US have such a hard time getting a visa in the US to attend a conference, and they often have to miss their presentations because the US embassy failed to process visas on time.

Dear conference organisers: I promise I will choose a better birth place next time, but in the meantime can we please 1) host conferences at more visa-friendly locations or 2) leave more time between paper decision time and conference so we have enough time to apply for visas?

There were many interestingly-shaped lakes between SD and SF, like the lake on the left picture looks like a dragon and the lake on the right picture looks like a bird.

Aren't rooms at PLDI way smaller than the number of participants?

Tired of getting Ms./Mr. wrong when sending first emails or using Dr. when you should've used Prof. ? Learn Japanese and use "san"!

Actually, "san" applies not only to every human being but also to animals (e.g., <your cat's name>+san) and to objects (e.g., teddy bear san). It's like a hammer you can use to all possible nails.

2. "~" or "-" at the end of the sentence: Just putting "~" makes the sentence sound milder, without changing the entire sentence structure (e.g., "meeting has already begun ~")

Japanese language traits that I wish have existed in English: 1. "san": an honorific title that you can use for every human being without worrying about accidentally mistaking the pronouns

I received a science master's degree from MIT today. Although it has no meaning other than 2 years have passed since I started a Ph.D., I'm still proud of myself for moving to a new country and surviving during the pandemic.
