but for sure they cannot have the perspective of a woman. And a white bro cannot have the perspective of an Indian or a Chinese or a Quechua.
Asserting that white brogrammers cannot embody some perspectives doesn't say that they have a uniform background. It just asserts that your team will be made encompassing just that set of perspectives.
- growlist 7y agoI've never seen rigorous scientific proof that these claims for the nebulous benefits of 'perspective' are real, outside of issues that are highly specific to a particular group - and let's be honest, we are all far more similar than we are different (highly unfashionable view, I know).

- treis 7y agoThat's a pretty dumb article. For example: >Glow was even worse. The first onboarding screen asks users to choose their “journey” and provides three choices: avoiding pregnancy, trying to conceive, and fertility treatments. If you go to https://glowing.com/ https://glowing.com/ you can see their tag line is "Modern care for your fertility". So a good chunk of the article is nothing more than complaining that Glow isn't what they want it to be.
