How to Change the tech gender ratio
- mdorazio 11y agoFinally a good article discussing actual possible solutions instead of just reiterating the problem. I'll be adding some of these to a presentation I'm working on for this topic. One thing the article implies but doesn't explicitly say: stop relying on hiring friends of your early employees. Chances are, your white/asian male engineers know predominantly other white/asian male engineers, so you end up not making any progress on the diversity front.
- DinahDavis 11y agoYes exactly! Don't just hire friends. Go and find people in other networks and you will add diversity into your workplace!
- noir_lord 11y agoI'm in favour of creating a level playing field between men and women in tech (and any other X/Y you want to compare) but creating a level playing field and a lot of these measures don't seem (to me) to be the same thing. Though in fairness this list is better than most I've seen.
