Removing Female's Code = Harrasment

People seem to be focusing on some of the more prurient allegations - office hula-hooping and so on - but are largely ignoring what to me might be the worst offense: another engineer “passive-aggressively ripping out [her] code from projects [they] had worked on together without so much as a ping or a comment.”

I.e. if a woman writes inefficient, unmaintainable and buggy code, refactoring it would be serious incident of harassment and inappropriate behavior.

This has nothing to do with gender. If they just removed your code with no explanation, you shouldn't be contributing to such projects anyway.

If schedule is tight, you don't have time for elaborate explanations. I.e. you have to revert or fix buggy code, till it done more damage. Females take such actions personally. Think of Leah Culver's five stars algorithm.

BTW, Culver doesn't do coding anymore:

I'll continue to run regularly, travel, and blog (I have to blog for the Dropbox developer blog, it's my job!)

I guess that is the result of harassment too.

The real story is that girl annoyed everybody with her unprofessionalism and had sex with company's founder behind his wife's back.

that post was written by a dude, he probably just used the word 'her' because in his mind he was balancing the general overuse of the word 'his' in similar contexts

he should consider using gender-neutral pronouns.

It's not overused. Some areas of human life are naturally dominated by one sex or the other. It is absolutely correct to use male pronouns for areas dominated by men (and the female gender for areas dominated by women). What is overused is feminism and the fallacy that men and women are or should be "equal".

coding with childish boys is bad enough: they can get really upset when you improve something they wrote. it's pathetic.. and I can imagine women being much much worse about it

As some random VN says, "I think that all things always have two sides. Because I cannot see the truth when I believe only either one-sidedly."

Actually most things, beside computer planes, have more than two sides. Learn stereometry please. Then the wonderful world of binary space partitioning will open to you.

Some former users of mikeeusa’s content have contacted me privately. They find the content disgusting, dangerous, and possibly illegal. If this is you, I am sorry. The views expressed are not representative of the free and open source community. If you are very concerned about ensuring the removal of the code from your personal system, I have advice: ¶backup your data¶ download Darik’s Boot and Nuke DBAN.¶ burn the .iso on a cd¶ boot with DBAN¶ install your favorite open source distribution¶ restore your data.
That's a little melodramatic, don't you think?

But wholesale deletion of large chunks of code in a live project should never be done without first consulting the original author whenever possible. This would be offensive at any company, but at one founded on the very ethos of engineering collaboration, it’s more than a slap in the face. It’s a declaration of war.
What sort of logic is this? The code is supposed to belong to the team as a whole, not to the individual programmers. Any code that was taken out is supposed to be subject to the approval of the whole team, not the individual that happened to be assigned that specific task.

guess her code was like..
if (psi1 == 0) spike = 0;
if (psi1 > 0) spike = 1;
if (psi1 > 5) spike = 3; // 10nov2010
if (psi1 > 10) spike = 6; // 10nov2010
if (psi1 > 15) spike = 9; // 10nov2010

if (psi1 > 30) spike = 18; // 10nov2010
if (psi1 > 35) spike = 21; // 10nov2010
if (psi1 > 40) spike = 24; // 10nov2010

She is a designer

She re-tweeted this on her tweeting interface:
White women who are truly interested in ending patriarchy have to also be willing to end white supremacy as well because they work together.

What utter, unadulterated bullshit.
The backstory is complicated: Horvath left the software code development company and later alleged in March she was “harassed by ‘leadership’ at GitHub for two years.”

What the fuck? If she was harassed for two years why didn't she report it then? You know what, I was harassed by Horvath 5 fucking years ago for a year but I've somehow only remembered that now; she still owes me 100000 bucks in moral retribution though!

Preston-Werner and his wife, Theresa, left the company today on the heels of Horvath’s allegations
People have to lose their jobs over unsubstantiated bullshit that supposedly happened two years ago? Way to fight for women's rights by making women lose their jobs, by the way.

What the fuck kind of a society is this? A society where every little scandalous lying shit gets her way as long as she's a woman?

Yes, because Muslim supremacy or negroid supremacy will be totally not patriarchical. Muslims and negroes always treat women with the utmost respect and tenderness.

How do you know that it wasn't reported? Why did those people leave positions if they're not guilty, shouldn't they stay and fight for their good name if they were truly innocent?
