This talk is about nothing – and everything.
It starts with an excursion to science and shows how "nothing", or what we've long taken to be nothing, is the basis of why we are, who we are and what we do.
It shows how we can use knowledge about unconscious bias, privilege and empathy to uncover "nothings" in the tech industry of our times.
And it takes a close look at "nothings" in tech – from code, software documentation and code comments, to communities, shipping culture and harassment, silencing and lack of diversity in tech today.
This talk was presented as closing keynote for ScotlandJS 2015 scotlandjs.com.
