@karen_brennan@caitsydney I think the "problem is our schools" is a false misquote of me. I agree with Jane.
@karen_brennan @caitsydney no industry is perfectly meritocratic. But tech is more than most. github commits speak louder than race/gender

@karen_brennan@caitsydney By comparison, when 10% of schools teach CS, 90% don't (esp urban, rural), that's a glaring civil rights issue. -
@hadip@karen_brennan@caitsydney By comparison, the tech industry teaches 0% CS anywhere. It is entirely dependent on this issue. - Show replies

@hadip@karen_brennan@caitsydney Tech is not better than most. In many ways it's actively regressive.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
