This document discusses diversity in tech and how creating a diverse and inclusive workplace can benefit businesses. It begins with a quote from Pattie Kettle, a community manager, about how a certain type of diversity may be what the tech industry needs. It then provides several links to resources on how homogeneous the tech industry has become due to being dominated by white men by design. Overall, the document advocates for the importance of promoting diverse hiring and inclusion of different groups in tech to challenge norms and bring in new perspectives.
