We can see the rise in languages such as Elixir, with over 73% of people in the survey having tried Elixir and want to continue using it this year according to the Stack Overflow survey.

Wave Talent X IMG ARENA - Uncovering Unconscious Bias. Unconscious biases are the subtle, often unintentional preferences or prejudices we hold based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or even personal experiences. These biases can impact hiring decisions, team dynamics, and career opportunities. But by acknowledging them, we can take the first step toward change. That's why Functional Females have collaborated with IMG ARENA, bringing you an engaging evening to cover important topics around breaking the mould of unconscious bias. On November 14th, we will gather people within the tech industry in a workshop and panel-style evening to dig deep into unconscious bias and what we can do as an industry to avoid this.

Research reveals that a staggering 50% of the women in tech drop out by the age of 35. Several factors drive women away from the technology industry, including gender bias, company culture, work-life balance and lack of mentorship. So what can we do, as an industry, to make meaningful improvements? 🤝 Promote diversity and inclusion. Encourage diverse hiring practices and create inclusive workplaces. 👩🏫 Offer mentorship programs. Support women in their career journeys with mentorship opportunities. ⚖️ Prioritise work-life balance. Implement flexible work arrangements to help employees manage their responsibilities. 🏢 Foster positive company cultures. Build a culture where everyone feels valued and supported. Although there are a number of initiatives ongoing to address this issue, there's still much work to be done to create a tech industry that is truly equitable. #womenintech #diversityandinclusion
