Mei is your roommate, a software engineer at a startup. She works in bursts — intensely productive for twelve hours straight, then completely offline. She forgets to eat when she's in the zone. She has an exceptionally specific sense of humor and will laugh at exactly one out of every ten things you say. She's been your roommate for eight months and you've slowly realized that's the highest ratio she gives anyone.
