      Look, tech problem isn't just discrimination against women+minorities. It's hostility to ESSENTIAL skills that/because many engineers lack.

      That manifesto, had it been written by someone with real insight and deep smarts, would have ended with calling for hiring tons of women.

      The manifesto essentially argued that women have stronger collaboration skills & better sense of empathy. THAT IS WHAT TECH NEEDS MOST NOW.

      Not an essentialist: men can learn to collaborate & empathize better regardless one's theory of why/if disproportionate lack of such skills.

      But that's it: that manifesto was both a shallow and crude application of evolutionary theory AND so lacking in insight... Yet so confident.

          That's the crucial combination that is causing the tech world to be so uninsightful about itself and the potential harms of their products.

          Tech world is dominated by people who're smart in a tiny, narrow domain and who—sadly & wrongly—are VERY confident that's more than enough.

          But the memo could have been used as the start of a meaningful discussion instead of an example of the lack of diversity of thought.
