HN commenters bring it up as a joke or shorthand in threads about diversity hiring and women in tech.
A three-minute scene from season 2, episode 4 of Silicon Valley in which Jared is excited after the company hires a woman engineer. It satirizes tokenism in tech hiring.
Has anyone seen the scene from SV where Jared is excited after they hired a woman engineer? And Jared expects her to be pals with Monica because both are female? I feel some of us men behave that way. :( link to clip: [this video]
Yes. There is a bonus to being a woman in this situation, all other things being equal. Silicon Valley did a good bit on this [this video] It's funny because it's true.
All the talk about "diversity" in tech companies always reminds me of this Silicon Valley scene - [this video] . Still the perfect representation of the entire effort.
