Some homelessness is due to untreated mental illness. Some homeless is due to other factors I am largely ignoring that, intentionally.

Tech is all about mental aptitude. Some mental health issues interfere with the required skills and some do not. Someone with ADD, bipolar or impostor syndrome is not strongly adversely affected, while someone with dissociative schizophrenia and cannot make decisions that keep sheltered will not succeed in tech and might not even with proper treatment.

What can tech do to better reach out to people who are homeless because they have mental issues that impact their decision making so much as to destroy their ability to maintain shelter? This problem is too big for a company to handle we need cultural and government change to address that.

I don't know what is up with your black colleagure, could you expand on that? I went from being a shitty programmer to a decent because a black programmer taught me a few key lessons about how to think, so there are at least a few mixed in with us.

I think tech is about as inclusive as it can be barring isolated exceptions.

Downvoted without rebuttal. :(

If I am wrong, then please tell me. I even asked for more information on something I was unsure of.
