        That’s the read I got from it too. She asks what’s keeping her from being content with life without conventional markers of accomplishment. I don’t think she says outright that she wants to be like her husband, but the point she’s making is that women in tech feel more driven to accomplish things as a way to prove themselves in the industry while men don’t feel that same pressure or not to the same extent.

          Right? Seems like she’s missing that not all career accomplishments need to be some form of external validation.

          Holy shit I didn’t read it properly. Yes indeed I believe that’s what she’s trying to say. She wants to be content like her husband.
