Right now there are many different flavors of software engineers: low-level ASIC and FPGA engineers, high level algo engineers, privacy engineers, documentation engineers, test/build/automation engineers, Frontend engineers, backend engineers, fullstack engineers, autonomous driving engineers, metrics engineers, datapipeline engineers, storage engineers, ads infra engineers, camera engineers, ML engineers, tooling engineers, security engineers, accounting/tax/compliance engineers, devops engineers, k8s engineers, etc etc. But I think there should be one more engineering discipline - diversity. Diversity engineers would be in charge of many tasks that other engineers find extremely painful - changing master branches to main branches and owning / fixing all the related infra changes, writing code / data / text / documentation inspection and correction tools to automatically check for inclusive language, building inclusive oriented tools / systems for recruiting such as anonymizing systems, preventing issues with ML systems like Google's classifying humans as apes, basically driving cross-functional / cross-org diversity initiatives, all with the goal of increasing the company's ESG score, and thus their value to investors, especially institutional ones like Blackrock. At certain companies right now there are "diversity quotas", but this is approaching the issue from a non-engineering perspective. They are approaching it from a HR / humanitarian perspective, which I believe is extremely inefficient and the actual numbers reflect such inefficiency. This is an issue that could be solved with engineering talent, not HR talent. Who's on board with me? How do I get in contact with directors at companies where I can write and submit a more formal petition. I could write up OKRs and quantify results in various ways, along with surveys. This came up because talking to a lot of engineers, just something simple like renaming master to main caused a lot of teams headaches because of all the dependencies and infrastructure that is built around assumptions. Non-diversity engineers should be able to focus on their main job, leaving tasks like that to diversity engineers. I want to be very clear this is about bringing value to shareholders, not just doing diversity as a feel good initiative. TC: 250 (🥜)

The level of corporate speak put into this troll is quite impressive, bravo
Are you saying the ESG score isn't real, or that institutional investors don't use it? Specifically what part do you disagree with?
Today you think it is a troll post. In a few years it could very well be reality...
To be clear, if I understand correctly, you want to give people of color the shit jobs others don't want to do?
If it’s not a late April Fool’s post, then damn dude. Go outside and touch some grass.
He's really sick.
