   I’m only on episode 4 of “Change, Technically” with @grimalkina and @analog_ashley and I’ve already cried twice and and cheered out loud in my car a few times. If you’re in software, infrastructure, or use either professionally you should be listening to this. https://www.changetechnically.fyi/

     Especially as someone who is nearly entirely self taught and who is the daughter of someone who taught shop classes, I truly believe a more equitable path forward for preparing people for work in tech is to make it a vocation and not something perceived as only for folks with degrees.

     We exclude so many of what could be our best people because either we tell them their path isn’t a valid one or they look at the people who make it in tech, don’t see anyone like themselves, and self select out before anyone has a chance to say “actually, you could do this.”
