I don’t want to be on an engineering team with people who were primarily chosen by their ability to write code on a whiteboard.

Every step along the way, exclusionary hurdles are introduced to limit the candidate pool.

How our assumptions about the skill and capability of our technical workforce keeps us from building more diverse -- and more successful -- organizations.
