No interest in debating philosophy in a HN comment thread, but saying that gender diversity has intrinsic value (and I'd argue it does, especially from a deontological/Rawlsian perspective which considers fairness an intrinsically moral good) does not negate its extrinsic value (positive social/interpersonal benefits). Either way, I don't care. My point is that the previous comment reduces the value of gender diversity in the workplace only to the degree it can solve sexism globally. Which is a textbook example of "moving the goalposts". P.S., gender balance is "nice" for reasons that don't involve you as well. Really more about equal opportunity for women in this case, who face constant discrimination in CS, among many other fields.
