I wonder how much of the hate was because she was a female programmer vs just because shitty human beings are going to be shitty on the internet regardless of her gender and unfortunately, being a woman in tech is an easy target for them.

No matter where you go, there are shitty people who will harrass you for being different. Only it's not just "different" when there's predominantly violence in a single direction across an axis; some people get way more shit than others, and it's not "just because", it's not just.
