You know, I am an optimist, and I'm always

 looking at the glass half full. 

I think more, and more, and more people

 are realizing that the teams that they're

 going to be part of will be more diverse.

 Full stop, they will be more diverse, 

across gender, but also across ethnicity, and nationality,

 and religion, and sexual orientation. 

You name it, they will be more diverse. 

And more people are understanding

 that really diverse teams generally 

don't perform middle of the road. 

They're either off the charts great, 

or they're absolutely awful.

 And it comes down to the culture you build within the team, 

bringing ideas from all sources, as to

 whether or not that team comes together.

 And whether the magic happens, and you get better solutions 

than any individual can get.

 So I think more people recognize that.
