Wow, the response from Joyent seems ridiculous. Saying you would fire someone (who doesn't even work for you) when you haven't even asked them why they did what they did is stupid. You're overreacting, doing it without full information, and doing it publicly. It seems even worse when you read the response from Ben: https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568172 https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568...
NB: I don't know much/anything about Joyent/Ben so my perspective is just from what I've read on GitHub and this post.
- chris_wot 13y agoEven more ridiculous when you realise that the one threatening the "firing" is Bryan Cantrill, who once wrote this (scroll to the bottom): http://cryptnet.net/mirrors/texts/kissedagirl.html http://cryptnet.net/mirrors/texts/kissedagirl.html

- girvo 13y agoPeople can change their opinions on "gender equality", especially after 17 years...
- chris_wot 13y agoSure they can. But they can also learn maturity and to privately inquire as to whether there were any misunderstandings. Certainly, they can refrain from threatening to fire someone - who doesn't even work at their company! It shows that it's the same old Cantrill.
- nailer 13y agoI don't think Cantrill's "have you ever kissed a girl" had much to do with gender equality [1]. It was just a low, personal attack on someone commenting in explicit, researched detail on Solaris performance, made by someone who was responsible for Solaris's (poor) performance. [1] Some folk would argue heteronormativity, but that's also a different topic from gender equality.
