I happen to be an acquaintance of Rachel Myers, and while she does do not-for-profit stuff outside of work, do you have some evidence that she's a "social impact employee" there? It's not obvious on her Twitter/Github profiles.
I don't want to assume any motive to your comment, but I think it would be a cause for concern if the world at large assumes that women/minorities are hired strictly for their "social impact".
- dominotw 11y agoI assumed it had to do something with community involvement from here https://github.com/blog/1521-rachel-myers-is-a-githubber https://github.com/blog/1521-rachel-myers-is-a-githubber Github is a trailblazer here for tech companies taking social impact seriously. There is nothing derogatory about it. They do amazing projects in this area eg: http://connecthome.hud.gov/ http://connecthome.hud.gov/ https://github.com/detroitwaterproject/detroit-water-project https://github.com/detroitwaterproject/detroit-water-project I was merely curious about how this fits into their grander strategy.
