Technically Wrong by Sara Wachter-Boettcher is the kind of book that any software developer (data scientist, tech industry creator) should read because it makes you think about making things in a way that is responsive to the reality of our world. Often we do not think about how creating systems, products, and services in a way that makes sense to us might inadvertently marginalize our users who do not look, speak, think, or experience life the way we do. It is so easy for bias to be introduced into the work we do simply because we are not thinking about it. It is not only time to start thinking about it but also speaking about it and encouraging our teams to think about, speak about, and act upon the need to recognize our biases and what that means for our industry and our impact on society. This book can help start those conversations and I cannot recommend it enough.
