From All Sides: An Honest Conversation About Women In Technology
summary
A four-person conversation catalogs concrete tactics and failures: mentoring at hackathons, running Ladies Learning Code classes, building onboarding for Intel IoT, designing SoundCloud monetization flows, founding Anton & Irene to avoid promotion games, and creating Slack circles and karaoke/potluck meetups that actually retain women. Advice centers on checklists for promotion and using Google Calendar appointment slots to protect time. Useful if practical steps and anecdotes matter more than platitudes.
