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

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 [VIDEO] It's funny because it's true.
