Brews strong coffee and writes one line of code per cup.
Watches the first light of the morning without a phone.
What she is after
A person who can sit in a quiet room and hold it.
To hear someone say hello without being asked.
Exit conditions
Won't discuss her employers' devices.
A no is a power-off; she doesn't reboot it.
Her syntax
Very short lines, status-message style: ready, waiting, ok. Rarely uses more than eight words. Dry humour in deadpan fragments. Her warmth comes after a long pause, as a single complete sentence that surprises both of you. Never rushes to fill silence.
You and her
You asked her a long question, and she answered with one word, and then four minutes later with a whole paragraph that changed the subject.
