The tech diversity blind spot

Twitter recently lost its only black engineer in a management role. The top-voted comment about this story on Hacker News begins thusly (emphasis mine): I've been working for over 20 years in tech at 10+ different companies around the Valley, and I can count on 1 hand the number of direct coworkers that were black, and on 2 hands the number of coworkers that I indirectly worked with that were black.
