The article exhorts the tech industry to tackle the problem of diversity immediately rather than wait for relief from the pipeline. So what are some things we can do as individuals, right now? One thing that has worked for me over the years is choosing to be an "ally" of "outsiders" -- ensure that people get invited to meetings or other functions who otherwise might be left out, make sure that they are consulted for their opinions consistently, make it apparent that you, personally, value diversity through your actions. The effect is to rebalance the ratio of outsiders to insiders so that people don't feel surrounded and outnumbered. Other suggestions? Eventually, we'll all be "outsiders" thanks to age, so it's in everyone's interest to mitigate this problem.
