As #ACCU2018 is underway, and as I am here, it would be strange if I wouldn’t use the opportunity to tell about what I like (and don’t like ;-)) here. Diversity in Tech – What Can We Do? Gen Ashley was opening the conference with a keynote speech on “Diversity & Inclusivity in Tech”. Main point: […]
