Antipatterns for Diversity
summary
Argues diversity improves problem solving and creativity and cites concrete signals: Twitter reports 49 black engineers (<2%), women leave in mid‑career, graduates don’t match hires. Lists concrete antipatterns that actively block inclusion: denying the problem, blaming the pipeline, hiring for culture fit, rigging interviews, microaggressions, double standards, and no defined processes. Recommends practical moves: publish real numbers, create processes (projects like no no processes), broaden recruiting networks and treat diversity work like writing tests.
