Now today we have a very critical issue to talk about.

And I think a lot of us have been aware of it,

but nobody really wants to talk about it.

And it is about, how software engineering

You know, ever since I was fired from Facebook last year

I asked myself if I want my kid to get into tech as well,

if I recommend the profession for my nephews.

because software engineering is just not what it used to be.

The path to get into a top tier tech company

a lot of them will reject you simply based on your race,

your appearance, even if you're the smartest kid out there.

Even if your programming skills are top notch,

simply because they've reached their quota

Simply because of the way that you are born.

And there could be so many political reasons for this.

And they may even be very well reasoned about.

But at the end of the day, you could be rejected

So that's the first gatekeeper in this process.

And I can tell you that, at least for myself,

when I first got into software engineering, into programing,

the reason I got into coding was back in high school.

I used to have one of these cool english teachers

and he liked to align himself with all the other cool kids.

He wanted to be seen as one of the hip teachers,

It didn't really matter how good my english essays were,

he would just be mentally biased against me,

And then he would just give me these bias grades,

Well, we had the few refuges like math, coding, physics

because these were areas that were purely objective.

Didn't matter how much a teacher hated you,

and nobody could take that away from you.

It was a pure meritocracy, a battle of skills.

And that's why I fell in love with coding.

and programmer stereotypes may come from.

Where you see these people, they're not very attractive.

You can be the best programmer in the world,

and that has nothing to do with your perfect SAT scores

or how many open source projects you've been building.

They simply will reject you on your appearances.

It's a perfectly valid reason to reject you,

You just weren't the right ethnicity or gender.

Now that may not necessarily be a complete deal breaker

because these days information is largely self-served.

College is not the only vendor of information out there.

There's so much information and knowledge on the internet.

or enroll in my course techinterviewpro.com

where I'll teach you to land the coding interviews.

even after you've obtained the necessary programming skills,

there can still be so many other gate keepers further ahead.

For example, if you wanna apply to job fairs,
