Despite its welcoming character, the Elixir community struggles with diversity; as the 2020 ElixirConf community survey shows, only 2% of Elixirists are women. Today we speak with Blinker software engineer Alexandra Chakeres about her experience of the community, as well as what we can do to make it more inclusive. We open by exploring Alexandra’s background and coding career. After expressing her enthusiasm for the Turing School, we talk about Alexandra’s learn-by-doing approach to picking up Elixir. She shares how she landed her first Elixir job before we chat about her current role at Blinker. We discuss why the small size of the community means that Alexandra doesn’t recommend Elixir to coding beginners. We then dive into the topic of Elixir diversity, touching on factors that limit inclusivity, including how few Elixir positions are available for juniors. Alexandra unpacks solutions, like how organizations can shift their hiring pipeline and the need to approach diversity organizations with openings. Later, listeners will enjoy our mini-feature segment where we interview Instinct Science engineer Bill Peregoy about how their team uses Elixir. Tune in for more on what we can do to create a more diverse community. Key Points From This Episode: Hear how co-host Sundi Myint first met Alexandra.

Insight into Alexandra's previous marriage with famous director Morgan Spurlock and the infidelity she experienced in that marriage Why complaining about your partner/ex-partner to your child is one of the most damaging things your child can experience When you talk negatively about your spouse, you are talking negatively about your child. Children associate their parents as them. They are 50% their mom and 50% their dad. So when you speak negatively about a parent, you are speaking negatively about the child-- except it's even worse because they can't change that thing about them that you're hating on. They can't fix it because it's not literally a problem within them...it's within their parent and that is out of their control.
