Keynote: Who and What We're Leaving Behind
summary
A plea to stop leaving people and ideas out of software creation backed by concrete examples: an Open Source script for automated account creation fuels relentless harassment and drives someone toward suicide, an auto‑blocker project targets “SJWs,” and an OAuth app ties repo access to genetic data. Practical fixes include recruiting from Code Tenderloin Annie Cannons The Last Mile /dev color Andela volunteering or funding them and having an enforced code of conduct not just “be nice” plus the call to center marginalized perspectives so different problems get solved.
