Never to be mentioned: All of the engineers who won’t work at Google because of what they did to Damore.
Techies aren’t as politically mono cultural as this (and most other pieces) would have you believe. Many would happily build something for ICE as another example.

Sure the number is nonzero, but I'd look beyond you're own bubble if you think that's a population worth mentioning in a discussion about larger trends.
