Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment

Posted by samzenpus on from the hostile-environment dept.

First time accepted submitter PvtVoid writes in with the story of Julie Ann Horvath alleging a culture of sexism at GitHub. "The exit of engineer Julie Ann Horvath from programming network GitHub has sparked yet another conversation concerning women in technology and startups. Her claims that she faced a sexist internal culture at GitHub came as a surprise to some, given her former defense of the startup and her internal work at the company to promote women in technology."

    What you describe (exaggerating a lot though) sound very much like the "drama queen" archetype.

    Ironically, in workplace, all the drama queens I have met were male.
