Less about diversity and stats - but more why not optimising for tech proficiency is important early stage. "Hiring the very best developers is like premature optimisation". Early stage you need so many many more skills - "Delivering fantastic customer service and designing a great product require a tremendous amount of empathy. Empathy requires context. Context requires experience"

This line I thought was pretty insightful too:

" If you go all in on top 10 CS school graduates, you’re likely going to find your sales and marketing funnels are empty, basic user documentation and on-boarding is missing, and customer development is lacking."
