Your hypothesis is that two "reasonable women" will enter IT as a result of Julie Ann Horvath and another former employee feeling ostracized at GitHub?

- facepalm 12y agoI don't know what happened with JAH, but it seems obvious that the Ada initiative judges without having any inside information. That's the real issue. Besides, it seems possible that women who work at GitHub don't quit because JAH is gone, if some accounts are true (ie the Jane Doe on Medium article). But you are right, the JAH incident itself probably doesn't motivate anyone to join IT (neither men nor woman). Then again, perhaps eliminating drama from IT (by eliminating drama people) will in the long run entice those women to join.
