Diversity panel at @scaladays now.
EDITORIALIZING AHEAD
Panel has been asked why diversity. Answers are largely making economic arguments (better companies / better products). I agree but I want to emphasize the moral imperative to encourage diversity.

Also, a lot of our current political woes seem to be driven by rising wealth inequality. Diversity means not just more access to dev jobs, but more access to CEO jobs (and, I hope, lower inequality as a result).

Talking about the impact of having children on women's careers and providing daycare at conferences. We can solve this in the small scale individually but solving at a societal level requires political change IMO. (I think Scandinavian countries do better here, but not sure.)
