That is so spot-on... the only reason people care about forcing diversity in tech is because its now a fashionable industry that gets you respect and makes you money. If coders were not lauded for being super-smart, rich, and working in "fun environments" nobody would care how big of a white sausage fest it'd be.

I was wondering if other industries (construction, commercial fishing, oil drilling, nursing, coal mining, aircraft maintenance) were as focused on diversity as tech. And if not, what made tech an outlier.
