On this Episode, hosts, Elias & Mukuma welcome Tony as we discuss Culture and Diversity in the Tech space. We give insights to questions around Cultural Diversity vs Culture and Diversity in Zambia and major tech spaces around the globe. We talk about the progress we have made so far as well as what we are doing absolutely nothing about. We take a look at the big gray areas in the work-space and how cultural diversity influences new tech innovations.
We talk about Teletype (Kinda called it Telemetry but moving on...) which is a feature in Atom that lets other people see you code real time. This is an awesome feature especially for Pair Programming and collaboration across borders.
We highlight Remote.com which is just one example of platforms that help you find opportunities for remote work. Here is a more comprehensive list of other platforms that offer similar opportunities for devs that like to spice it up a little.
2018’s highly controversial memo by former Google Engineer James Damore which caused outrage by suggesting that women's lesser interest in software engineering is the main reason that there is an under-representation of women at Google rather than discrimination within the technology sector. This is what has now become known as Googles’ Ideological Echo Chamber.
We hint at Universal Basic Pay or Income which points to a guaranteed access to minimum income.
