I can understand Linux in the 1990s. It was backed largely by folks who didn’t do well with others. The fights between the Linux and BSD folks were as legendary as they were juvenile, and Linux’s existence seemed defined entirely by the revolt against Microsoft. Now, though, the platform is backed by huge brands. It is mainstream, and there’s a huge community effort to bring more women into technology. So why did one of the leading women kernel developers, Sarah Sharp, feel she had to leave because it represented a hostile work environment?
I find perpetually offended people unacceptable . You are a liability and your attitude is merely an unproductive annoyance . It seems that you are more worried bout talking about making your own touchy and perpetually offended feelings the navel of the world than showing any real passion for the technology
going forward, thin-skinned people should simply adopt an anonymous handle to work with. There are and have been several who did this. I recall Mudge for one.
For Sara, it is too late; she let her personal side take control over her creative side.
