Hightower also emphasizes the importance of educating people about Kubernetes and making it more accessible. He also shares his experience of being a mentor and inspiring underrepresented communities to attend tech conferences. Hightower believes that showing up and being visible can give permission to all the people who thought they were not welcome.
