I am also a frontend developer at New Lab.

Another fun fact about me is this is my first time speaking at a conference.

[ Applause ] So, please be kind to me, okay?

So, I'm going to just go straight into my talk.

I wanted to when I was preparing my slides, I thought about how do I talk to people about

how we can all get along about the diversity, about everything that happens in our community.

So, I decided, okay, let me look at what has happened in the past.

The woman who she was part of the team who discovered the black hole.

Who remembers how much she was bullied on Twitter, on Hacker News, yeah.

Who has ever posted a question on StackOverflow?

Who remembers who was ever like posted a question and then got very negative feedback.

My personal story is I posted my first time ever I posted a question on StackOverflow.

Something about jQuery, and somebody said, can't you read?

After refreshing for over three minutes to get an answer, and somebody said, go read

If I'm coming from the docs and coming to StackOverflow where everyone is to ask questions.

I was trying to remember all the stories when I was coming up with this talk.

Today we're going to have a conversation about why this talk is important.

We're going to look at practical examples.

We are going to look at a proven solution.

We are going to explore ways to apply this solution to our community.

We're also going to look another how working on this problem can actually benefit us as

Why do we need to have this conversation?

We need to have this conversation because we are unique in so many ways.

Even if we're sisters and brothers, I mean, we have different ideologies, right?

We need to have this conversation because can be despite our differences, instead of

embracing our differences, we are actually making it allowing it to cause discomfort,

disconnect and friction within our community and amongst ourselves.

I'm going talk about the condescending tone.

If you've ever asked a question on Reddit and then somebody down voted your question,

Or somebody said, this is not right for this thread.

Somebody says this is not right on StackOverflow.

Have you ever been in code review with your manager or team lead and somebody says, or

your team lead says what you did makes no sense, right?

So, the reason I'm talking about the condescending tone is I think we have a problem as engineers.

In our community, we have a problem with communicating.

I'm not sure everyone wakes up in the morning and says, I want to be condescending.

I don't think people wake up and say, every junior developer in my office has to hear

I think it's because we don't know how to communicate.

And especially when we learn something new, and the beauty of this when we learn something

new, oh, yeah, anyone who wants to talk to me today, has to learn.

Let's say you learn about React hoops, for example.

And tell yourself, anyone that asks this question.

This is not, this is what we're going to say or to do.

A junior developer says something, no, that's not how it's meant to be done.

This is a problem in our community, and we need to work on that.

Also, one that gets to me the most is the backend versus frontend.

If you've ever heard about people say frontend developers do not do a lot of work.

I mean, you can relate to what I'm trying to say here.

I have been in situations where people tell me I'm a frontend developer so I'm not doing

as much work as the backend developers so I shouldn't get paid as much.

Or I'm just there for decoration or something.

Maybe I'm trying to be nice to them and they didn't mean it that way, but this is a problem.

We are having so much division in our community because we feel some people are doing all
