When I first published this article on Key Values, I also shared it on Hacker News. Unfortunately, the post was quickly flagged. Conversations around diversity are difficult for many people, but I think it's incredibly important that we talk about it.
Even if we don't agree that diversity is generally a good thing, we can't escape the fact that many of the companies we work at, sell to, partner with, and rely on are actively working to promote D&I. We don't need to agree, but we should be open to discussing what the value of diversity is, the underlying goals behind efforts to increase it, and how it impacts employees and the community at large.
I have been a programmer for forty years. Even so, I have made a breakthrough in software development and feel that in some ways my adventure is just beginning.

Why am I not surprised? :-(
I oppose censorship and I support freedom of speech.
I think the acronym in vogue now is DIE, to better reflect a renewed focus on outcomes.
