I also work in a similarly "diverse" office (east coast, household name software company) but I don't see things nearly as rosey as you do I think. As a white software engineer I'm typically in the extreme minority (I'd say it's a 70/30 split, and of course unless I am in a meeting with mostly management types) and the majority being asians and southeast asians here on work visas.
As this relates to the article I find it incredibly sad that my employer can't find citizens of any color to fill positions and instead chose to hire people coming from countries with dubious education systems.
Instead of bringing over "the best and brightest" to do low quality work at 70k/yr, I'd much prefer our industry and government focus on training its citizens to fill these positions first.
