Why am I just learning about the guy who wrote the first app on the Apple store, today ?
Cool lad.

[@emanuelcook5275]

This was spot on. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@rizeanderson7307]

Does anyone else have experiences with bias in the Tech Industry as of today?

[@dcam2]

Yes! People don’t hear you out or ask for your help or opinion on things. Everyone moves up quicker than you do. Being a person of color in tech is difficult. You also have a bunch of young people who have no life experience and no idea what they’re doing.

Why don't we just work together instead of forcing our way into a space that isn't for us. Why take the disrespect?

@JohnReed-et9zm why wouldn't I?
