I was reading this intently to find an answer to the central question that was alleged and provable beyond reproach. Did another developer "...rip out code" from the git repo due to personal issues? Almost every thing else could devolve to he-said-she-said (or she-said-she-said in this case). However code commits (and subsequent reverts) are extensively tracked. Assuming they can roughly pinpoint the time window involved I genuinely wonder how they conclusively proved that it did not happen. If it were true, then that engineer should have been immediately terminated FOR CAUSE and sued in court. Also given the fact that he is still employed (and presumable just recently promoted) would have made GitHub look much worse. Regardless, it looks like that allegation was unsubstantiated,

It says in the post. > The commit history, push log, and all issues and pull requests involving Julie and the accused engineer were reviewed. The investigation considered all possible commits surrounding the accusation of passive-aggressive code removal. One instance was found where the engineer updated and broke some CSS in an internal application, which was fixed in a later commit. The investigator determined this change did not appear malicious. Sounds like they reviewed all commits by the accused person, and found nothing that fit the accusation.
