The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Diversity (Don't panic!)
summary
Claims that 41% leave IT after 10 years and cites the Stack Overflow 2019 survey to show priorities invert by gender—women rank company culture and development opportunities above pay while men prioritize compensation and tech choices. Explains stereotype threat (Steele & Aronson 1995) with experiments where asking gender lowers women’s math performance, gives concrete examples: a misogynistic Slack channel, girls at coding workshops losing confidence by age six, and urges using the louder voice of white straight men as a tool to call out bias.
