  Reading through those responses, the answer seems to generally be "HN is wrong: she was not especially rude."

    The Quora response to the general subject that usually gets quoted is excusing her egregious inability to play nice with others by leaning on her putative intellect. That's not a rejection of the picture painted of what it was like to work with her by (multiple) others. I've worked with smart people who were unable to listen or otherwise interact with others. It was pure hell. If she was like that, I'm confident most Googlers who had any skin in the game (meaning, they weren't her peer or superior to whom she was pleasant and respectful, but someone who answered to her at some level) were happy to see her go.
