The Human Collective

The Human Collective is here to support, encourage, upskill and amplify women in tech.

I'm not even sure if anyone is here anymore 🤣
But for those who are... the next Women Who Code Melbourne event is happening online this Thursday

Who hasn't heard me talk about these?!
Here's a chance to get your hands on some!

[ComfyCon AU @ComfyConAU]

Comfycon challenges @AISA_National. If we can assemble a quality, 100% female or non binary conference, for the weekend after the 18th November, that's the weekend after PerthSec, you make a donation to @awsn_au to the Project Friedman initiative for female first time speakers.

[Erwin van der Koogh @evanderkoogh]

You can’t make this shit up.. a startup founded by three women, the least technical of which has taught bootcamp courses, was told by an investor that they were concerned the startup didn’t have a tech team..

For reference, I have been trying to hire one of them for 6 years..

[@micheleplayfair @MichelePlayfair]

Noticing another increase in the number of folks looking to increase the diversity of their tech teams. Here's a view from @TechLeadLadies of what your candidates see: https://t.co/sriCG48u9C

Not just AI, but tech more broadly --- the entire system is desperately in need of more unlikely people.

[Gretchen @scott_gretchen]

"AI needs more unlikely people, and the world needs you involved with AI"
Very true words.

We're also really excited to see how the product we're building over at @TDiversityLab
can help make sure that technologists get to flourish in their careers!

Read The Report!
(If you're interested & have time)
It's been great to be involved with the conversations around this - Australia has a shortage of technologists.
How can we fix it?
What should the goal be?
Thanks @techcouncil_aus
& @Accenture_ANZ

[Gretchen @scott_gretchen]

What's the best way to start up a business? With two other women in tech of course :)
Cannot wait to be able to share what we're creating....

[The Human Collective @HCAcornTech]

@car_mun Yes! We love solutions (and totally understand the tired part).

[The Human Collective @HCAcornTech]

Depressing - but worth reading.

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

Survey (N=1,902) of women and non-binary technologists finds 90% experienced discrimination, 100% reported harassment. Only 55% believe they are paid fairly and only 63.5% reported a sense of belonging. @BrendaDardenW

Dear junior. Dear intern. Dear me from yesterday. Dear me tomorrow. Dear anyone having a bad coding day:

Tech is hard. It's not you. You're enough. Keep going.

[Gretchen @scott_gretchen]

Coming up this afternoon at 4:30pm AEST, a great discussion around working in tech across the world....

That statement does indeed hurt!

Imagine the opposite, how amazing the tech industry could be if we became the best at gender equality?

#womenintech #techdiversity #genderequality

[Gretchen @scott_gretchen]

"Gender inequality is even starker in Australia than in the U.S. or U.K. The price paid — by individuals and the economy — is significant"

OUCH!
