> Strange to me you'd come off thinking this. The premise of the book is that diversity and a better portrait of society as a whole (including everybody) in the making will result in better software.

Really? There is no indication of that message on the landing page.

"A new crowd of jock-like developers has arrived, more likely to spend the wee hours of the morning at the club than writing code, turning workplaces toxic to others and dumbing down the world of computer science."

Not sure how "turning workplaces toxic" in the opening paragraph translates to "diversity results in better software".

I think the point is that typical bro-behavior is anti-diversity, which I think is true, what with phrases like "that's gay!" etc etc.
