I’m Black and have a disability that only allows me to type with one hand. I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that I haven’t been discriminated against.

How do I know? My success rate from applying for a job to not getting rejected (ie I take myself out of the running after I get an offer) is close to 100% over the past 20 years. I also don’t blindly submit my resume without an internal referral or through an external recruiter.

Software development is very egalitarian.

I could say the same about age but no one can tell my age yet. I go to interviews clean shaven and most non Blacks can’t tell my age without any outward signs like grey hair or a receding hairline.
