This was my take too. I disagree with the opinion piece linked by the op.

My take was that he wanted more girls to be involved at a younger age in tech.

If you look upstream at hiring, If I have 20 candidates and they all graduated from either a bootcamp or a cs degree, then my pool will probably reflect that ratio.

If we want to fix the representation of people in any workforce that has a barrier to entry such as previous training. Like with Engineering and college. You have to get more representation in the engineering programs.

If you want that you have to have more applications to the engineering programs. If you want that you have to de-stigmatize engineering at a young age.

That was my take away from what he said, but maybe I'm projecting.
