Lore Harp McGovern built a microcomputer empire from her suburban home

It’s not just that she overcame odds as a woman in the tech business that amazes, but that she was so clearly someone who cared about people, and chose to risk her business and reputation more than once to stay true to her values. That’s perhaps even more rare in this industry than being a successful female CEO.

there are no odds as a woman in the tech business. The tech industry is on of the most inclusive industries because it measures talent and value creation not features no one can do anything about

Where have you been?

That ignoring history

> Every tech company on the planet is tripping over themselves to hire/promote more minorities

That is because of the problems than have been mounting in tech because people only hired people that looked like them.

I do not understand what the problem is with DEI. (I am not in the USA, perhaps I am missing out). Making sure that no one is left behind, because they were over looked, seems like a good thing to me.

That's a real problem. People want to hire people that are just like them. Same school, same degree, same personality, same age, same political affiliation. I have seen the bias for the same race and gender, and not just white on white but with all races selecting their own, although that's on the down low.

I don't know what the current MO of DEI programs is, but I hope they're expansive by also targeting ageism and other present day discriminations.
