    The easiest is incentives to hire minorities (gender, sexual, race, disabled, etc.) to level the playing field first.

    This takes away a large part of the privilege that is at play in the tech industry.

    As more of these minorities get higher in the industry the implicit biases will begin to disappear.

    Many of the people who currently experience the privilege will be pissed off and view it as unfair. But in reality they’re getting a taste of what other minorities already experience.

    And in my experience (roughly 20 years) the more diverse a team the better the solutions and diversity in thinking you get.

      That sounds good. But what does equal footing look like in hiring process?

      You’ve described a steady end state, and I agree that’s a good end state.
