We're all about transparency and believe it contributes to creating change so we were stopped in our tracks by an Atlantic article that describes all the recent transparency initiatives in the technology industry that have "tallied" and counted the number of women and minorities at various companies. 

The article provides some great 2014 data about giant tech companies, but also suggests that releasing diversity numbers is becoming pro-forma and might even be cynically considered a "grand gesture".
