I ran a coding dojo once where I had lost everyone with a kata I thought up about implementing a programming language. The hotshot young male dev. Some other guys and a woman dev. Except for one person. She followed it all the way, even though she was a recent hire as a junior dev. She was about as far from the western stereotype of a software dev you can imagine. She had brown skin. She was pregnant. She had a headscarf on. This is who we lose to software development because of our biases.
