    A three-minute scene from season 2, episode 4 of Silicon Valley in which Jared is excited after the company hires a woman engineer. It satirizes tokenism in tech hiring.

    HN commenters bring it up as a joke or shorthand in threads about diversity hiring and women in tech.

    1. @kelukelugamesDec 2017· in “I don’t want to be the pink elephant in the room”

      Has anyone seen the scene from SV where Jared is excited after they hired a woman engineer? And Jared expects her to be pals with Monica because both are female? I feel some of us men behave that way. :( link to clip: this video

    2. @henry_boneMar 2021· in “Four times I felt discriminated against for being a female developer”

      This SV clip says it for me. In the words of Guilfoyle "... we should hire the best person for the job. Period." [1] [1] this video

    3. @thoughtexplorerOct 2018· in “Amazon scraps secret AI recruiting tool that showed bias against women”

      Yes. There is a bonus to being a woman in this situation, all other things being equal. Silicon Valley did a good bit on this this video It's funny because it's true.

    4. @paxysFeb 2025· in “Google kills diversity hiring targets”

      All the talk about "diversity" in tech companies always reminds me of this Silicon Valley scene - this video . Still the perfect representation of the entire effort.
