Obviously this article is a single personal viewpoint, but I have heard similar stories from two other github employees (one of whom still works for github).
Their interpretation was that github is upset they are viewed as sexist, so they want to figure out how to change their public reputation, without actually changing anything.
- Thorazul 9y agoThis feels like the mostly likely scenario, quickly change your image by hiring a bunch of 'diverse' people and soak up the PR, then quietly let them go over the next few years if they don't conform.
- rmc 9y agoThat'll work for a year or so. The problem is that they will write about it afterwards (like this), and then you're reputation (in this area) is even worse, because now people won't be believe you.
