Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sticks-and-stones-and-brutality dept.

JG0LD writes: A prominent Linux kernel developer announced today in a blog post that she would step down from her direct work in the kernel community. “My current work on userspace graphics enabling may require me to send an occasional quirks kernel patch, but I know I will spend at least a day dreading the potential toxic background radiation of interacting with the kernel community before I send anything,” Sharp wrote. Back in July, 2013 Sarah made a push to make the Linux Kernel Development Mailing List a more civil place.

    Sarah's opinion only has value if she's cute.

    "Men are blunt to each and will call you out on your bullshit to your face."

    0. This need not be obscene or abusive.

    "Women, on the other hand, will do it behind your back and will be far more vindictive about it."

    0. Not where I work. YMMV.

    So she's a social justice warrior troll doing this for attention? Called it earlier.

    Since we're predicting things, I'm predicting you're a gamer gater conspiracy theorist who yells "SJW!" when you step on a Lego.

    You do realize you're an actualized stereotype, right? You're who feminists visualize when they want to feel good about being right.
