This is a poorly-written article focusing on insignificant tidbits of illegitimate controversy attributed with GitHub which distracts from actually discovering the details of an unhealthy work environment that may exist at GitHub.
The bit about racial and sexist slurs in some random users' code? Completely irrelevant. GitHub is a platform to host code. They are not and should not be responsible for what people commit to repositories. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that GitHub should take on the role of a censor, and at that point, code associated with any gray area (like Popcorn Time) becomes a target for the vocal minority.
Let's wait for Horvath to finish her side of the story and go from there.
