@noelrap @davetron5000 in a fair blind process, I think you end up with Github and Shopify dominating. They hire people who speak, and even new speakers from there benefit from peers who are experienced speakers. It’s like how Lebron’s kids have natural advantages. They probably are good picks, but I still want to see other perspectives and have those opportunities for a wider group

@noelrap @davetron5000 hrm. Reading this back, the term nepo baby sounds dismissive - I think that can be used to describe people getting ahead with no merit. I hope the Lebron kid part makes it clear that I think the speakers are good, and put in effort, and have merit - they have advantages that they shouldn’t feel bad about here
