Leadership is not the same as management. At @Shopify, we found that staff developers are eager to learn the same leadership skills that new managers need to develop. It’s all about moving the entire team forward, every discipline.

Major investments in CS Ed over the past decade have expanded access to early careers in tech, but finding long-term success is still a challenge for many. Gender, race, & socio-economic diversity are still areas where we as an industry need to do better.

This is one take and there are more ways to support the growth of our field. Who else do you think is doing a great job in CS education right now?
