In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Alex Qin following on from her QCon London talk “Shaving My Head Made Me A Better Programmer”.
Why listen to this podcast:
- Casual discrimination and unconscious bias is rife in society, and very prevalent in tech
- The need to have many more people in the field who don’t fit the preconceived mould of a programmer
- The complexity of the overall system means we need to tackle discrimination at many levels in many different aspects
- One person can make a difference
- Call things out when you see things that are wrong – speak up, show up and shield those who can’t shield themselves
