- Assumption that adults are superior to children said to a 30-year-old programmer who would say, “It’s amazing that you can program even though you’re 15 years old,” he said, “It’s rude to say to a 25-year-old designer, ‘It’s amazing that you can draw even though you’re 25 years old. As an actual example, there are cases where programmers say, “It’s great that you can write Haskell even though you are a designer.

Think about the unconscious bias in the words “You’re a designer “and” you can write Golang or Haskell?
