Perhaps she is really good at her job despite these drawbacks you claim she possesses? Perhaps because her professional interactions normally don't contain anything that pushes her buttons?
I've interacted with tons of people in similar positions (though not Adria specifically), and I've never had the relationship get anywhere near any kind of button pushing, aside from some friendly competitive banter (oh, you use X? you really should try our Y...).
- iopuy 14y agoSorry I should have cited my source: > Amanda Blum a female figure in the tech community shared her thoughts on the situation. She defined the entire fiasco as a loss for everyone and pointed out that Richards, "is not an easy person [to work with]". Blum suggests that Richards doesn't have a positive track record in the tech community. http://www.businessinsider.com/female-tech-community-adria-richards-2013-3 http://www.businessinsider.com/female-tech-community-adria-r... I don't claim to know anything she possesses, only what I have read. Still I'm left wondering, is the role of "developer evangelist" mainly not one of community interaction? And if it is, is it not outside the realm of possibility that she will encounter things that "push her buttons"? Geez, I would feel awkward being in the same room as this lady knowing this is one step away.
