And I'm not sure I agree with that in general. If I look back at the engineers of the computer company I worked for in the late 80s, I would say there were more women and it was whiter. Certainly, more were from traditional EE disciplines given how relatively new CS was.
But I'm not sure that new engineers at that company were fundamentally different from new engineers joining, say, Facebook today.
