Wonderful video. I am a white man of european descent so it looks like I would be a great fit to work here.

You're getting downvoted for the throwaway, but I had the same thought. Amazing to see such a complete lack of diversity, and sad to see it being ignored by almost everyone in their responses.

  I don't know. Just listening to the many different accents in the video, there were people from many different places. All of us have different stories, even white guys. Diversity is not just about skin color, although some seem to think so.

  There seemed to be plenty of people from lots of different parts of the world. If you were actually concerned about diversity maybe you should be looking more than skin deep yourself.

  This is a company located in Germany, there are almost no non white people here...

    I call doener kebab on that. Almost 10% are from Turkey. Depends on what you mean by almost.

      If you count all from Turkish descent in Berlin, then that would be 6%. Most are 'white'.
    - orbifold 12y ago
      It is less than 10% in Berlin and most of them are second or third generation descendants of immigrants and most definitely white Germans "mit Migrationshintergrund".

  There are some women developers in the video, for one. Two, I imagine the number of non-white software developers in Germany is very, very small.

  That's Europe, though. If you want diversity, go for a drive and cross a few borders.

This will shock the average HN reader, but not every place is like SF. In fact, most of the world is radically unlike SF, and that's fine.

  > but not every place is like SF Yep. You might also notice quite a lot of 40s/50s/60s years old devs (unlike SF cliche). And that is great, of course.

Well, white and European descent is quite common in Berlin and Germany. That's much of the population there and around. Still, there will be some diversity with people from many European countries, since EU members can move freely in the EU and can easily work in other members states. Not many women in German software companies is also quite common, unfortunately.
