Code of Ethics

I was extremely honored to be invited by friends at CSTA-NYC to
help produce a live episode of the show on the topic of Tech and
Ethics. We called the event "Code of Ethics" and my thanks in
particular to the kind and hardworking folks in the Audio-Visual
department at Microsoft, NY, who hosted the event.


Anil Dash is the CEO of Glitch, formerly Fogcreek Software, and
host of Vox Media's new show on Tech and Society, Function, and
long-time advocate for a more socially-minded technology sector,
it's engineers, leadership, and the policy that structures (or
doesn't) decisions about what gets made.


Natasha Singer is a reporter for the NY Times Business Section,
who covers Tech and has a special focus on accountability.


And Brenda is a NYC Public School student who dreams of becoming
a software engineer. She is a 1st generation Dominican-American
and passionate about women in tech.


This conversation was a journey into some of the most serious
issues that all of us should be grappling with during Computer
Science Education week. Thousands of events, big and small, are
being logged globally tying into CS Education, but what could be
more important than a step back to think about what, in the
course of the conversation, we refer to as tech's "downstream
effects."
