The Challenge of Unconscious Bias in Code Reviews

A common frustration among women in tech is the discovery of unconscious bias during code reviews. One woman noticed that her suggestions were often questioned more rigorously.

This led to a noticeable improvement in fairness, showing that awareness and process changes can combat bias.
