If allegations of non-employee/founder wife scenario is true, I would hope the board shows said founder the door. Beyond being in bad taste, it's exposing the company to some serious liabilities...

#12My gut tells me there was probably sexism at GitHub, drama with founder's wife, AND she was probably not blameless either in this whole mess. It was disheartening to me to see people rally to her on Twitter and immediately cry for the sacking of GitHub before any facts or concrete allegations were made by anyone involved, her especially. That's the stuff angry mobs are made of.

#131. What part of the article above would be considered hearsay? Aside from the screenshots, it feels the least bit gossipy.
2. Right to confront accusers? This seems extremely one-sided. No one she blames gets to defend themselves, where are the witnesses on either side?

#14Until there's a second side to this my GitHub use is not going to continue. Sad to see this happen, but it's not hard to change origins on my repos to BitBucket or Gitlab. edit: and again, it's two commands to push my repo back. but i have no interest in being with github at this time
Isn't it better to wait until all sides of the story have been told?
The likelihood she's lying is next to zero. You don't really make these things up...

Towards the end (of the article), it sounds like she was just going to 'quietly' exit the company, until someone (apparently) rage-posted some disparaging remarks about her leaving the company (prior to it becoming public knowledge). Now she wants to leverage public opinion to get Github to take some action... supposedly.

I'll admit that it's a bit gossipy, but in other circumstances, you likely wouldn't be calling for 'witnesses on either side.'

According to the article, she did this because she was being anonymously, publicly slandered on Secret.

#19> Horvath then told her partner, also a GitHub employee...
Protip: don't dip your pen in the company ink.

#20Two women are dancing to music at work in a tech company and the author compares this to a scene at a strip club as men are watching this. Unless this was a regular exercise, what was everybody expecting? Nobody taking notice?
