that's one aspect i think he got wrong, partially because i'm not sure he even bothered to check demographic data much for google, facebook, etc. generally speaking most industries focus on pushing the increase of opportunity, such as promoting themselves in minority colleges or in female heavy areas. when it comes to hiring it comes down to dollars, ability, and purpose. i mean don't get it wrong, women are still significantly more preferred hires than men in tech (glorified quotas to be frank) but a good company won't lower their standards. if both pass and both are good candidates, they'll just take the one that they need the most, even if that need is entirely for optics. they're still fully qualified though so it's not really a major problem. his premise is that we should be doing it based fully on merit but that's already the case for any major position. for smaller ones it may include more factors but it's usually going to be fine.

I agree with this. I dont think it has hurt their business much if at all. It might of helped it as well tbh.

Still doesnt take away from the fact that men go where the money is because it gives them a better chance to get a relationship
