the Value of Diversity in Coding
Strange title on the article itself. There is nothing on this topic in the article or the interview.
- leephillips 5y ago“if you only rely on volunteers or on people who perhaps their job allows them to do the one thing they like, you will exclude parts of the population that don't have those affordances. By building tools without a complete slice of the society you want to reach, you can't possibly have the impact that you want in that society. It's not just a technical mission. It’s an ethical mission of building things that have a positive impact in the world. That impact isn't going to be realized if we're building things only by a few, because when you build by a few, you build for a few. If we want to build things that really are for everyone, we need to build them with everyone.”
