Session: There is NO Developer Uniform!

"No devs wear that!" "You're too pretty to be a dev" "Only real devs use Macs"

When we wonder why there is no diversity in tech, these stereotypes and gatekeeping philosophies are part of the blame. Having heard them over and over in my own career, I've learned to resist the negativity that ensues from these thoughts.

In this talk, I hope to dismantle these thoughts, share my advice to all women, and inspire everyone to truly believe that there is no developer uniform!
