Maybe, but I feel that the answer to such biases is to introspect and understand your potential prejudgements, and then not let them specifically sway you. Anyway, the accepted alternative, an entirely meritocratic process, is fraught with issues too, as the playing field is inegalitarian to begin with -- so those candidates who might be the victims of unfair biases could already be at a disadvantage since they might not have received the privileges that preempt meritocratic success. It is assumed that relying totally on a candidate&#x27;s coding ability somehow avoids the issue of bias and works to mend our diversity issues in this sector, but it actually merely plays into the entrenched state of things. I don&#x27;t have a solution, but this entire problem-set is certainly deserving of more nuanced thought.
