Code Manifesto
summary
The industry is grossly lacking diversity and the problem is both a pipeline and a culture issue claiming only 12% of computer science degrees go to women and that women leave at nearly two times the rate. The concrete response is a values list published as the Code Manifesto with eight principles and actionable steps: call out harassment, respect boundaries, know biases, own privilege, educate yourself, stand up and amplify marginalized voices, and use the website as a living resource.
