A Talk about Everything
summary
Software shapes billions of lives and the talk lays out specific failures: 3.2 billion people with internet and 0.25% of the world are developers (≈18 million); major firms have only 1–3% Black engineers and 77–87% of leadership is male, venture funding 2011–2013 gives under 10% of deals to women CEOs and 1% to African-American founders. Concrete harms include platform moderation that lets hate and promoted abuse persist and car emissions software that increased NOx and caused real deaths.
