Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, biases exist everywhere. Most people think of technology as inherently neutral, but when we examine the widespread technology used every day, we uncover unconscious biases built into the systems' foundations that impact our daily lives. Our lives are increasingly affected by these algorithms that determine things from what news we see, the products we buy, or what skin color triggers an automatic water faucet, to possibly life-altering moments like who is stopped by police. In this course, Muazma Zahid takes a look at the common biases we all experience, how they manifest in our work, and the steps you can take to remove those biases in code, actions, and products and build inclusive technology. As technology advancements continue to grow, identifying bias in the process is critical to building inclusive technology.

Given the tech industry’s role in everyday life—from products and services to employment—there’s almost no one untouched by tech companies. For this reason, bias and inclusivity in tech are so important. While companies are focused on new technology to shape a better world, inclusivity often gets overlooked. Many managers have a moment when they feel lost on how to handle inclusivity, and other moments when they feel like they are making progress. While there are many skills taught in engineering school, we learn inclusivity on the job and often outside of it. In this course, Nishant Bhajaria shows managers and leaders how to bridge that gap. He looks at the dimensions of diversity a leader can use to foster inclusion—from introversion vs. extroversion, to education and demographics—and provides strategies for developing an inclusive environment.

Learn how to conduct fair, objective, and productive code reviews and still like your teammates afterward! Instructor Adrienne Braganza Tacke explains why we conduct code reviews, the main pain points teams experience, and what your team needs to make code reviews successful. She explores objectivity and how to write constructive feedback, covers why your team needs a working agreement and how to create one, and offers tools and automations to make the process faster and easier for your team. Successful code reviews have an inclusive mindset, so Adrienne also steps through how to master writing any kind of code review comment, even constructive feedback, and covers how to formalize an enforceable code review process. With buy-in from the whole team and a clear, detailed process laid out, process loopholes should be minimized and hopefully eradicated for good.
