> Someone who bullies women programmers Whoa...slow down there, hoss. Steve explained that his tweet about @harthur's replace utility was not meant to disparage its author, or its code, but was meant to express his feelings about Node (i.e. the ecosystem for which replace was written). And, he apologized, "unequivocably", for the fact that his tweet had caused pain to @harthur: http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2013-01-23-node http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2013-01-23-node And, @harthur then said this in a followup to her original post, http://harthur.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/open-source-rocks-follow-up/ http://harthur.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/open-source-rocks-fo... My last blog post was quite a downer, so I want to do a short follow up for posterity. First of all, there were some nice responses to it from Steve Klabnik and especially Corey Haines, who gave a very sincere straight-up apology. Several people have told me they are usually very nice, so keep that in mind. So, your characterization appears to be incorrect and unfair.
