Interesting article but this quote
"For Wallen, there is another longstanding issue in the development community that needs to be addressed. “It’s become clear that there needs to be significant improvement in the way the development community treats people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community,” he says. “At this point, there must be a zero tolerance for unwanted or unequal treatment.”"
does not follow at all from the rest of the post, as higher agreeableness, the trait that would most match what the author just described, is not mentioned as being relevant to their findings anywhere. It would be interesting to see a study on the levels of agreeableness of developers compared to the rest of the population, as it is mentioned in the article that "Most developers are agreeable!" but I haven't seen anything to support that assertion.

What has your experience been? Mine is that most are meek and avoid conflict. That's at least some of what agreeable means in this context, right?
