I Look Like an Engineer (and so do you)
summary
Argues that a four-minute keynote video and recurring caricatures like "Krusty" caricature present a narrow, exclusionary image of developers, backing that claim with reach data (millions watched and 16,000 likes on YouTube) and examples from Apple, Mr. Robot, Silicon Valley and WarGames. Shows how those portrayals teach alienation, contrasts them with real-world diversity across age, gender, geography and tooling, and demands changing representation so being an engineer simply means being one.
