True... but what if you are going to have to spend your whole life fighting against silent discrimination?

Reddit CEO Ellen Pao says she is hiring for diversity. Google and IBM are putting hundreds of millions into diversity programmes for hiring and training. Twitter is publishing employee diversity reports.

So if you're a coding genius but you're white or Asian, straight, male, not disabled, guess what?

You're not going to be hired by tech start-ups and companies who are obsessed about showing how "diverse" they are rather than hiring the best candidate for the job.
