Improving Diversity in Tech with Ashe Dryden & Faruk Ateş

Our web/tech industry struggles with diversity. Just look at the news any day in Silicon Valley. We discuss this important topic with diversity advocates Faruk Ateş and Ashe Dryden, who share their perspectives on how to improve diversity in tech. We clarify the difference between diversity and inclusion, and why both continue to be a challenge for the tech companies. Our discussion even draws parallels between the challenges of embracing diversity in the tech community, and the challenges of embracing accessibility in design and development. We also discuss some of the fundamental ways we can all affect change for the better: education, self-awareness and being open to making mistakes.
