- The 37-year-old CEO is just doing her job—and making us question how we do ours.
Yahoo CEO, Silicon Valley goddess, and new mom Marissa Mayer is inspiring and maddening. Or maybe it’s just that everyone wants her to be inspiring and maddening, and she’s just doing her job.
In any case, here’s a small sampling of the 1,022 questions I asked myself while reading the New York magazine profile “The Geek in the Gown”:
1. Would Twitter even notice if I tweeted about my (future but maybe never) pregnancy?
2. How much more can I reasonably grow my Twitter followers while still in my childbearing years?
3. Is the mix of serif and sans serif fonts in the headline a subtle nod to Mayer’s research of serif v. sans serif fonts for Google search results?
4. Are serif fonts really more readable and sans serif ones more legible?
5. If the answers to 4 and 5 are yes and yes, is the headline intending to suggest that Mayer is hard to read?
