Do OP thinks that what we accomplished until now with this mindset isn't a great achievement? I understand the point about minorities more commonly get stuck at considered worse technologies -I got stuck with PHP for 7 years - but help them to stay more comfortable with these tools will do no good. They will get siloed.
- eyelidlessness 10y agoI too was stuck using PHP for years. Both for career (that's the kind of jobs I was getting) and cultural (exactly what the article is talking about) reasons. Encountering more inclusive peers using other technologies didn't make me feel more comfortable using PHP, it made me feel more comfortable trying new technologies.
