How is this a dickish thing to say about white men. I am a white man. Having worked with 1 woman in 15 years in Oklahoma & Texas in development I worked with roughly 60/40 (men to women) developer teams in the Bay Area. Also the broad array of cultures and experiences brings different opinions to the table as well.
It wasn't intended as a slant against white men, it was more a happy dividend that I didn't realize I was missing (diversity). SF is rather diverse, but in IT competency still matters far more than gender, race, etc.

What exactly are you, as an individual, missing in terms of diversity? > "the broad array of cultures and experiences brings different opinions to the table" Technical opinions? What does this mean exactly? This is the bad implication I was talking about, that a group of white males is somehow deficient relative to any group of people.
