Let’s build a more inclusive future together!

Black innovators have shaped the tech world as we know it.

From developing programming languages to pioneering AI.

Even as Black History Month draws to a close, we celebrate Black excellence in WordPress, open source, and beyond!

Let’s continue to uplift and support Black voices in tech.

Artificial Intelligence is shaping the future, but who ensures it’s built ethically? 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮 is a trailblazing computer scientist and AI ethics researcher who has dedicated her career to exposing biases in AI and advocating for fairness in machine learning.

In honor of Black History Month, we'll be highlighting the impact of diverse voices in technology by showcasing stories of Black innovators whose work in quality, testing, and tech has inspired our community. These weekly blurbs invite our readers and the broader technology community to reflect on how diversity drives excellence, share their own experiences, and consider the future of inclusive quality and delivery practices.

Boost to help spread the word! Together, we can sustain this impactful program.

I’m putting it out there: I really wish I knew some coding people who are not cis male that I could look up to, be inspired by. I am yet again surround by cis males in tech on my course - and they are truly brilliant and inspiring - but I feel like I don’t belong and shouldn’t be here.

The people I am seeking to follow and be inspired by are those who “code first” (not sure how to describe that, hence the quotes) and didn’t adopt more of a PR or front-facing role, mostly leaving coding behind as the vast majority of females I know in tech eventually did. (And a reason why I felt I also didn’t belong in tech or coding and should follow them, after I was told all I do as a web dev who directly helped my employer’s entire business scale up is “just pretty things up”).

So: who are some non cis males whose career is centred on coding excellence who I could follow online somehow? Really not sure of the right words to describe this, so please rephrase “coding excellence” if you need - I mean people who mostly just want to code, be great at code, inspire others to be great too, they could teach or not, lecture or not, just hang out online, whatever. Their actual job could be in almost ANY industry, not just software dev or similar.

This is the downside of having #DiversityInTech. We have people like Daniel Sup having to be bombared with abhorrent messages like "I'm not a Russian agent" and "please stop harassing teenagers".

Wishing our community Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year.

How do I find people (especially women and POC and LGBTQ+) who started as scientists and somehow found their way to programming and love it so much but were never formally trained and so they just figure it out as they go but they make it work anyway?? Too specific?? (I’m a half #filipino woman and ally, let’s be pals?) #python #rstats #diversityintech
