A three-minute scene from season 2, episode 4 of Silicon Valley in which Jared is excited after the company hires a woman engineer. It satirizes tokenism in tech hiring.

HN commenters bring it up as a joke or shorthand in threads about diversity hiring and women in tech.

All the talk about "diversity" in tech companies always reminds me of this Silicon Valley scene - ▶ this video . Still the perfect representation of the entire effort.

This SV clip says it for me. In the words of Guilfoyle "... we should hire the best person for the job. Period." [1] [1] ▶ this video

Yes. There is a bonus to being a woman in this situation, all other things being equal. Silicon Valley did a good bit on this ▶ this video It's funny because it's true.

Has anyone seen the scene from SV where Jared is excited after they hired a woman engineer? And Jared expects her to be pals with Monica because both are female? I feel some of us men behave that way. :( link to clip: ▶ this video
