That's why diversity in teams is so important. Nowadays, when I do interviews, IT wants me to answer like they want me to answer. The problem is, if everybody think the same way in the team, the collective intelligence won't be very high.
With different people (with different culture, background, gender, and whatnot), the collective intelligence will be way higher.
It's not only for this specific bias. It's for all of them, and there are many.
It's always inspiring for me to work with folks with a diverse background. Especially, because of the additional work they had to put in. Unlike me who just followed the computer engineering path without many obstacles on the way.
I believe we also need to get better at embracing diversity with inclusion. I have written a few things on the blog about it. I'd be interested to know what are your thoughts if you end up reading anything!
Good article.

Thanks Matthieu! I totally agree.
