The Function of Bias
“In each industry, I see a need for people who are unafraid to challenge bias, privilege, and assumptions — those both of others and of themselves. People who can be comfortable working with sensitive data and tight time constraints. People who find fulfillment building and providing products of service. In each industry, I see a need for exceptional communication.
“And I also see this: A need for people who understand that the work that they do has the potential to influence the lives of so many others, in good ways or not.
“The more we understand how our privileges burrow into our applications, the better we’ll be able to prepare. The better we’ll be able to respond.
“The better our products will be.”
