Agreed. It was only at the beginning that you repeatedly said “he”. I imagined it wasn’t a political statement :). I’m female and noticed so I wrote it down

Thank you the live blog and the nice words. I heard a lot of people were not able to enter the room as it filled up quickly. I will post something on Twitter when I’m doing it at some other conference in the future (eg. Devoxx in Antwerp later this year).

Gender is absolutely not relevant for Technical Leads. I tried to make this implicit in one of my slides: https://www.slideshare.net/BartBlommaerts/javaone-2017-10-tips-to-become-an-awesome-technical-lead-v3/54?src=clipshare. Since I’m not a native English speaker, I will pay more attention to it in future talks. Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,
Bart Blommaerts
