Jayne is an Engineering Manager at Quantilope, based in The Netherlands. She has a long history of front-end engineering and organizing conferences and events. She’s passionate about welcoming everyone into tech and making the web work for everyone.
At conferences, we show the latest and greatest tech and often laugh about older technologies. But people still use these tools and frameworks, and shaming them is harmful to the community. In this talk, I want to share my own personal story of how I got confronted with gatekeeping and elitism, how it affected my confidence, and what we can all do to avoid this.
