Ty for sharing this video.

To answer your question: I think a community like dev.to is a great example of such a place. One of the many things that have attracted me to it and keep bringing me back, is that many of the articles here show some of the dark sides of development and don't shy away from admitting the issues faced by many but talked about by a few.

As for the speaker: I am glad that she stressed the importance of different backgrounds, perspectives, and opinions. What I wish she would up covered is that having a safe place to learn does not mean that people will be free from criticism, I firmly believe without constructive criticism no one learns anything.
