12. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> What is diversity? (poll answers) • Gainning more value throughout team’s diversity • Opportunity to let differences coexist and provide improvements. • Better teams • Group of people with different characteristics like: colour of the skin, experience, gender, sexual orientation, political views etc. • Diversity is getting the amount of differences on many levels (eg. Age, ethnic, gender, religion, status, polithical views and many more) in the group.

13. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> tabs vs spaces programmers will know
14. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> • i recently worked at a company that used tabs • i created a new repository, and thought i was being hip and modern, so i started to evangelize spaces for the 'consistency across environments' • i get approached by not one, but TWO coworkers who unfortunately are highly visually impaired, • and each has a different visual impairment • one of them uses tab-width 1 because he uses such a gigantic font-size • the other uses tab-width 8 and a really wide monitor • these guys have serious problems using codebases with spaces, they have to convert, do their work, and then unconvert before committing https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/c8drjo/nobody_talks_about_the_real_reason_to_use_tabs/

21. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> Let’s do a thought experiment https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DiversityMediocrityIllusion.html
22. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> Let’s do a thought experiment https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DiversityMediocrityIllusion.html pick out ten sparkly marbles such that five were blue and five were pink I don't think you would react by saying “that's impossible”. it's possible to find the appropriate marbles, but the downside is that it takes longer.
23. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> What can you do tomorrow? In the environment next to you? question time
24. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem>
25. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> What can you do tomorrow? (poll answers) • ACE 2019 conference organisers supported the talk preparation. Check how many women they had this year ;) • Sit down and discuss this problem and offer the help to the people organising the conferences and meetups. I am not organising or managing, but I have diversed connections. Through this I can help with the effort of "picking up the marbles" :) • What do you think about lower price for courses, certifications i.e. for women, people above 50years old etc. ? • To start recommend people to work in my company from different background.

35. Jakub Marchwicki <@kubem> Questions - after talk • Were you checking how diversity of speakers influenced diversity of audience? • Are You plannning something for diverse speakers not returning to speaking? Often I see people "trying" and not returning due to experiences during conferences • What do you think about lowering a price for courses, certifications for i.e. women, older people etc. ?
