True, this could apply to Apple or Microsoft. Microsoft especially had poor interview practices in the past (lightbulb puzzle style brainteasers). Anecdotally I don't know of any Black parents that discouraged their children from going into tech due to a poor or biased interview experience. I know many Black engineers with a parent that was an engineer and encouraged them to go into th field. Lack of awareness, many people did not know computer programmer was a job growing up, is a bigger issue.
- scarface74 6y agoThat’s true. I grew up in the 80s with an Apple //e. I was programming in Basic and assembly by the time I hit high school. But, that was only because my mom knew college professors that could find books from other colleges - there was no internet back then.
