I'll believe that "tech" is interested in diversity when it stops being married to nerd-culture. Tech seems to be just as homogenus as any other subculture, and people within it actively encourage it with trying to playfully out-nerd each other with whatever slightly obsessive quirks are in vogue.

  But is the nerd "way of thinking" the only way to achieve things like that? Or is it just that being mired in such a homogeneous culture makes it seem like the two are inextricably and inevitably linked?
