    JFC. I’m sorry, is this person advocating for regulating ethnicity in software development?
    Because, currently, no one in IT gives a flying f*** what other ppl in IT look like. No one is gatekeeping software development…
    The example used was that visual analysis is harder on darker skin. I f***ing wonder why! Is it because of physics? Nope. INHERENT RACISM.

    smh…

    Enough with this inclusion, equality and diversity bullshit.

      They’re going for “inclusion, equity, diversity and belonging” now. =|

    If everything is racist then nothing is.

      No. Cameras are racist, it’s a fact. Consider going to college to learn humanities and not trade school

      Words are racist. Stop using them or you are a bigot.

      How can they let this lady talk? What a joke of a topic.

    • James Storey

      It’s sad isn’t it. I remember being inspired in the beginning. Now I just feel bad for being alive!

    Translation: “we must force-feed the population more wokeness.”

    In other news, the Bud Light boycott is working! Keep it up!!

    • Zach Franklin

      April 28, 2023 at 9:19 am

      can you explain wokeness to me? I’m having trouble understanding your comment

    • D P

      April 30, 2023 at 6:02 am

      ​@Zach Franklin it’s a cultural trend born in black american comunities. It consists of conspiracy theories like critical race theory and the idea that history has been whitewashed so all the accomplishments that we attribute to europeans are actualy african and have been stolen.
      The term has now become intersectional to include other minorities and the lgbtq community with the same type of logic

  11. Blake Roy

    April 26, 2023 at 3:41 pm

    If you stretch it, she has a point about diverse teams. However, this doesnt mean 2 black people, 1 white person, and 2 asian people. I think this is mostly bullshit coming from a software engineer. Especially what she said about viruses spreading bias. That’s just uneducated.

    If you speak vaguely enough, anything can be your point.

    darker colors do not reflect light as well as lighter colors. maybe the camera just wasnt able to pick up the proper lines that it needed to, i dont know but i dont think a racist programmer was to blame. just faulty equipment

    My ears are bleeding listening to them talk about race all day long 😅

    What happened to TED talks?

    Not one real example given.. sorry I’ll make sure my if statements support LGBT rights

  19. Njul

    This is a ludicrous talk. This is simply about bugs that need fixing, nothing more.

    I was ready to be surprised but I knew what she was going to say before I ever clicked the video.

    Amazing speech

    I remember when Ted talks were talking about putting AWE in AWESOME, when English language was being… Well, numbed by the young, me included kek.

    Now I learn that I’m racist because a camera is stupid and someone programmed it wrong.

    I thought this would put forward an idea for solving the technical issue.

    It doesn’t matter who codes, what matters is what’s on their mind

    What a nonsense

  28. Gertjan Van den Broek

    April 29, 2023 at 7:37 am

    Though I get what she means. It’s also clear that she doesn’t completely get what she says. We should always strive for equity… that’s what she means. And design choices can be (unintentionally) biased.

    But she paints programmers as these masters of the universe that have all the say in the matter. She’s critiqueing the worker, not the system. And I suppose that gets my goat.
    And because it also sounds like she doesn’t understand the technology she comes across as a “presumptious” person.

    Problem is that we teach algorythms on data, and if data show that there is some regularity … sorry …
