It could be seen as spiteful, or it could be seen as a compromise. Bear in mind that not all kernel developers have the same views on civility, codes of conducts, etc. and some will not want to lose face by being seen to "capitulate co

Consider that someone might have incentives to communicate with a potential client far more nicely than to a person they dislike who probably will never be their client.

You'd think that a site like GitHub would have mandated code review for all commits by now. Especially after that time a few years ago when they managed to accidentally delete all the pull requests in the entire site, or something like

Yes, but a last straw is by definition a small thing, so of course it's going to be a small thing. Real life is not a novel.

Marriage is typically associated with sharing assets and belongings. While some parents can be quite free in helping their children out financially, it doesn't mean you can just go into your parents' house and take their money out

She claims she already has a new job to go to. I have to wonder, though, whether that is still the case after she talked to TechCrunch.

Both. Her career has taken her from cleaning, via marketing, to design and then front-end development. Quite a trajectory. (Not all at GitHub.)

Does it matter? Secret is quite popular in the Valley and among women in particular (right?) so it's not implausible that she had an account herself.

After reading the article I assumed that she didn't go to a lawyer because she believed there was nothing there that would merit a lawsuit. The fact that she didn't mention what her initial grievance was, leads me to believe it wa

If she is his wife then she co-owns part of the company with him (assuming they do the "everything that is mine is yours" thing). So she is not an uninvolved outsider, she is an investor.

Reverting someone's commits "silently" (inasmuch as you can do anything silently in git!) is any of those? That's interesting, because my commits were once "silently" reverted at a previous workplace and then w

What's the big deal? I am not a lawyer and I have no idea of the issues involved here, but surely if she was now made an employee and given a salary of $0, the fact that she was a significant investor (via her husband's shares) wo

Isn't the Secret post screenshotted in the article itself one reason to doubt her character? Of course it may be all lies... it's just an anonymous comment and anyone could have written it, including the guy whose advances she spu

If her problem with it was that some random other guy openly finding some random other girl attractive in her workplace "makes her feel unsafe", then that would be highly hypocritical, as she admits she was dating a coworker and t

The article, strangely, begins with JAH already having an unspecified grievance against GitHub and the founder's wife pleading with her not to leave GitHub and blog publicly about it. It's strange that at no time has JAH specifi

The "last straw" literally means a last small thing, FYI.

That's actually impossible at GitHub (as far as I understand their working practices) because they are not a traditional company. They use Open Allocation, which means that employees decide which projects to work on, and specifically,

What? We can't accept that things that might be true might be true, because you might cut yourself with that argument?

There was some good discussion about it on Reddit, and Twitter. I recommend checking out the reddit thread to better understand this point of view. However, even though reading this stuff made me think the blogger is probably right - it's a
