&gt; I don&#x27;t understand why the emphasis is on the tech community.<p>Because that&#x27;s the indsutry that is the major growth sector for the US economy, and a category that is threatening to swallow or change literally every other aspect of the economy.<p>Our community receives added scrutiny because we&#x27;re where people desperately want to (and arguably, need to) be in order to thrive. And yet we have constructed a giant edifice that turns people away in droves. Those few that run the myth-laden, idolized, unscientific gauntlet called &quot;the interview process&quot; are then subject to &quot;cultural forces&quot; that are generally just elaborate power structures identical to every other industry.<p>Only we are the gatekeepers of one of the very few industries that is considered accessible to young people AND that is growing AND that can be entered without a 4 year college degree.<p>Are you truly so surprised that you need to ask this question?
