Do you have an example of a company that does the second well?

As far as I understand, all companies need to have a pretty solid overlap of "common opinions" or else you are going to have political deadlock.

If you have examples to the contrary I'm really curious to learn about how they worked.

Most companies don't care about diversity of any kind for any reason besides PR. Every hiring manager knows that the most productive engineering teams are made up of 100% Asian cis-male Libertarians.

Diversity in terms of measurable metrics, such as women/minorities/LGBT++ being adequately represented, is simply a benchmark that can be paraded around for appeasement purposes.

What the hell. How can you say that with a straight face?

Of the two best engineers I know, one is is black and the other is trans. They're both 10x engineers.

I thought it was sarcasm.

Poe's law likely applies here.

I didn't.
