Todos tenemos prejuicios preconfigurados en nuestra mente, que nos guían en la manera cómo nos conducimos con nuestro entorno, y que afectan a la diversidad e inclusión: dos importantes temas que en la industria del software han avanzado muy poco en los últimos años.
Está a punto de ser estrenado el documental “Hello World: The Film”, que trata estos temas dentro de la industria del software.
En este episodio tuvimos la presencia de Shawn Wildermuth, tecnólogo con más de tres décadas de experiencia, Microsoft MVP, autor de diversos cursos en Pluralsight y actualmente, también, director de cine.
Durante esta interesante charla, Shawn nos platica su última creación: la película documental Hello World (Hola Mundo). Nos describe cuál fue el origen de esta idea, el proceso creativo, cuánto tiempo le llevó filmarla y algunos datos adicionales con respecto a esta película, que tiene como objetivo exponer estas dificultades a las que se enfrentan actualmente una gran cantidad de personas.

Hey Shawn thank you for your time. I’m very honored to have you here. I am so happy that you had time to have me. You know we go way back to our Silverlight days. So yeah i know right. We used to travel the world with the Silverlight tour. We were we. Were and and i still haven’t taken you up on coming down to mexico city so maybe maybe soon if we’re ever able to leave the united states again. That’s right well. I’m sure that you are very busy. Nowadays is a movie director. Yeah i wanted i. I am very busy especially with the film. But i also have the courses. I’m teaching them digging into code most days so it’s it’s luckily i don’t have kids otherwise i don’t know why how getting You’re right you’re right so let’s start by talking about your newest brought the hello world film. What was the region of this idea. So originally i had decided that i wanted to learn something new and making a movie. I thought it’d be difficult enough to lay waste the boredom that i was having and i was just gonna do this. Love letter to software development. Because i feel really lucky to be a software developer i lover industry and then i realized as when i started to do research that All the people had lined up to talk to where white guys from north america or from a western europe. And i was like. Oh this might. This might be a problem in this. might be with. The movie really should be about in. So when i started looking at the demographics software developers i think the last few years. We’ve talked a lot about the lack of women in software. And that’s been very obvious but at least in the united states we haven’t been talking about the lack of black and latinx ickes representation. They make up three and a half and four and a half percent of developers men and women combined and it’s I really i was curious about why right until the film talks about both women and blatantly. Latin x developers that you know where are they were they.
