Silicon Valley Could Learn a Lot From Skater Culture, Just Not Meritocracy
Gasp! I knew girls with hair like that ... and I hung out with girls that skated (and did BMX and gymnastics).  Judged by the timing, I must be about the same age as Ms. Siera and it's kind of an amazing parallel universe in some ways (I had an injury I never recovered from enough to return to the so-called "extreme sports").<p>In any case, I'm old (yeah ... I said it) now and definitely agree that we need more diversity in our tech work-places.  We have an additional problem as our applicant pool is extremely homogeneous.  How do we fix that?
