Explore the impact of gatekeeping and elitism in tech through a personal story. This talk highlights how these behaviors harm the community and shares actionable steps to foster inclusivity and support for everyone, regardless of the tools they use.
At conferences, we show the latest and greatest tech and often laugh about older technologies. But people still use these tools and frameworks, and shaming them is harmful to the community. In this talk, I want to share my own personal story of how I got confronted with gatekeeping and elitism, how it affected my confidence, and what we can all do to avoid this.
