What If You Switched to DivOps?
summary
The talk examines gender imbalance in DevOps and tech teams, citing company and national statistics and GitHub research showing lower acceptance rates for perceived-female pull requests (62% vs 71% for men) despite anonymous contributions faring slightly better. It discusses biased datasets and AI failures (hiring algorithms, Microsoft’s Tay) as causes and recommends practical remedies: neutral job descriptions, broader sourcing, visible role models, and measuring outcomes.
