Over the past few years, the DevOps community has seen amazing growth in its understanding and acceptance of diversity. As a result, we’ve seen an intentional push for equity and inclusion while embracing a culture that promotes different approaches to addressing tasks. This shift in mindset spotlights gender diversity and disability inclusion, including individuals who are neurodiverse and underrepresented in socioeconomic groups. While we pause to celebrate the wins, it’s essential to remember to consistently nurture candid discussions about the hurdles that pave the long road ahead.
