- Are Code Reviews positive experiences in your team/company? Ex-FAANG engineer with 6 YoE. Worked with two companies/3 teams before joining my current gig.

- Alternate view of discrepancy in women/men white/poc ratios I'm going to invoke Occam's razor against the Googlers' perception and theory on women engineers inferiority.
