At This Dot Labs, we are passionate about helping to transform the tech industry to be more hospitable and accepting of everyone! Just recently, we launched an Online Women In Tech Mentorship Meetup to provide a safe space for women and non-binary people to talk tech, kicked off our Opensource for All Initiative for underrepresented developers in partnership with Stackblitz, and have continued to support historically underserved coders through our collection of free educational resources, including our new enterprise-level development video tutorials!
But every once in a while, we also want to give direct shout outs to underrepresented developers doing fabulous work outside of This Dot, so we put together this list of “10 Under 10K”. Ten awesome techies with fewer than 10K Twitter followers, who are advancing modern technologies, and promoting a positive community online and in their communities. We see you, and we would love for more people to see you as well!
Make sure to visit all of these tech enthusiasts’ pages, and see what they’re up to! And don’t forget to follow as well!
