Rosie the [New Language] Developer – Where are you?

Kaliya Young · May 10, 2014 · Leave a Comment

This past week we [me, Phil, Heidi + Doc] put on the Internet Identity Workshop. It was amazing.
There is a new project / company forming and they are very keen to have women programmers/developers in the first wave of hires.  They are also committed to cultural diversity.
Since they are developing in a new language – you don’t need to have experience in “it” – you just need to have talent and the ability to learn new things.
I asked them for a list of potentially helpful per-requisites:

  • Some experience with ruby on rails
  • Some experience with JSON
  • Some experience with XML
  • Some experience with HTML5
  • Some experience with semantic data modeling
  • Some understanding of the ideas related to the semantic web and giant global graphs

If you are reading the list and thinking – I don’t have “all” of those qualifications…then read this before you decide not to reach out to learn more – The Confidence Gap from this month’s Atlantic.  TL:DR “Remember that women only apply if they have 100% of the jobs qualifications, but men apply with 60%!”
Please be in touch with me if you are interested. I will connect you with them this week.
