Some of you may know I am going to co-chair the next FOSS4G. ( Come Hell or High Water, but we are going to have a FOSS4G next year!) I have also participated on the organization of the last ApacheCON and some other minor online events. I have also spoken on many online events by now.
You may have heard any or all of these keywords before: middleware, integration, orchestration. And you may be wondering why and when to use them. Take a walk with me to understand when and how integration frameworks are useful. Imagine you are in charge of solving a new need of your company. There is no complete software stack for what you need. You will have to involve your team to create something new. Even if you reuse some components, you have to make them interact and talk to each other. You are an experienced software engineer and have solved previously many of the requirements with some components you are already familiar with. But now you have to orchestrate all these components together and make them work like a clock. Now you need a proper integration. You want all of them to cooperate smoothly in your architecture.
On June I joined Red Hat as a Senior Software Engineer.
If someone linked you this post is probable you are organizing an event where diversity and inclusivity is an issue and they want to help you fix that. If you want, you can jump to the subsection that better adjust to your case. Remember: diversity is not a TL;DR , you probably need to read the full article to get a better grasp of what you need. As usual: I’m going to focus on the gender gap because it’s easier for me to talk in those terms, but similar strategies can be applied to any other under-represented group.
Do we really need to explain the problem of diversity? IT is mainly white and male. Even the most egalitarian person have biases due to have lived on a non egalitarian world and this reflects on our community. There are also society pressure to some groups of persons not to work on IT.
Let’s overlook the statistical justice of having a diverse team. Let’s overlook the social justice of working on a team with high diversity. Go directly to why you, someone interested in having business at the end of the year, are also interested in having a diverse team. Spanish version is on Ping a Programadoras blog. Each one of us sees the world from a different perspective. Because of the vital experience that the society where we grow offers us. Those different perspectives are what makes us see different details on the same situation. And these details are what gives the products and services offered by your company the quality you need to succeed. Are the diverse teams more efficient and economically profitable? Yes Are the diverse teams more creative? Yes.
Me gusta leer ciencia ficción. He devorado sagas e historias sueltas y tengo el kindle a reventar. Pero, en este despertar feminista, un día me di cuenta de que no seguía a ninguna autora. Eran todo hombres. ¿Dónde estaban las escritoras de Ciencia Ficción? ¿Por qué no me había cruzado con ninguna? Así que me puse a rebuscar entre interminables listados de antologías y recopilaciones. Y acabé comprando un libro recopilatorio que parecía ser lo que andaba buscando: una recopilación de autoras que luego podría usar para seguir buscando más libros interesantes.
Una de las cosas que más me ha sorprendido en mi andadura feminista es hasta qué punto todas hemos tenido una evolución más o menos parecida. Con nuestros triggers particulares, nuestras situaciones y nuestras epifanías, la evolución es siempre parecida, cada una con sus tiempos y su velocidad particular.
