Why not? And what would?

Why do you consider diversity to be "artificial"? It's actually lack of diversity that's artificial.

Forget about gender and ethnicity for a second; what about the lack of age diversity in tech, and the rampant age discrimination? Oh, but it's a "meritocracy", and younger people are just "better", right?
