    stray thought if the government somehow managed to make the tech industry massively competitive one might predict DEI programs to be an inadvertent causalty

        DEI in tech is a result of too little competition?

        Big Tech DEI programs are IMO downstream of the “My college roommates and I” of startups. If startups won’t hire women or black people and you need 50k new employees this year, where’s your comparative advantage?

        Or in another context, who’s better? The best CUNY grad or the worst Stanford grad?

        I am massively ignorant of history in this regard but it definitely doesn’t *feel* like something the government would be good at?

        I think in the case of tech in particular government intervention is not likely to take any form that would result in increased competition stuff like GDPR has exactly the opposite effect, compliance costs are so high only large firms can meet them and it kills entrant firms

        The opposite, which is why you have Diversity Vice Presidents.

        I think that's probably right; the profits from oligopolistic competition allow a lot of barnacles to form.

        Or a mandatory essential, as the most competitive part of tech is hiring.

        Or maybe that wouldn't be the case if there was more competition in the market? I find that unlikely as all the other factors of production in tech are basically free.
