Zach was a quite visible ambassador for GH, an excellent speaker and spreader of GH love and lore. Would love to hear the story behind this.

- jgmmo 12y agoFor me, he was the face of GH.
- bmelton 12y agoThe amount of non-technical things that I learned from Zach is a very long list. In my opinion, GitHub was, by Zach's description at least, the "exactly right" sort of organization that I would imagine an employee wanting to work at. I blatantly stole his PowerPoint tips, right down to the orange-colored Yanone Kaffesatz font. I learned about how to to unsuck the development environment, that the product was the byproduct, and more about Github than from probably any other source. This doesn't change that for me, but he was indeed a fantastic ambassador and representative of a company that I would very much love to work for. This doesn't make me think negatively of Github, or Zach, but without knowing why he was fired, or for what reasons he's no longer a good fit, it does give me the idea that the big tent has shrunk a little bit.
