"virtual lynching"
Hyperbole much?
"...to reject a pull request that eliminates a gendered pronoun on the principle that pronouns should in fact be gendered would constitute a fireable offense for me and for Joyent..."
That was (imo) the worst part of the blog post. You're comparing death threats from obsessed fans of a platform known for being filled with users of a younger age, to angry backhanded tweets and blog posts from professional software developers.
C'mon now.
- iends 13y agoI really have a hard time understanding what you're trying to say. People are upset that Joyent called him an asshole on their company blog, and things really did get out of hand on github for a period of time (I suspect most of that has been "cleaned up" by now). Not sure what you mean by "... of a platform known for being filled with users of a younger age." Is this really true, or is it some kind of attempt at an insult?
- dangrossman 13y agoThe platform he's referring to is Xbox, per the Adam Orth article. It's a game console, some of the people insulting him were likely children.
