GitHub Open Sources Their Internal Testing Tool (thenewstack.io)

destinyland writes: Last week GitHub released a new open source tool called Scientist, a Ruby-based library they've been using in-house for several years. "It's the most terrifying moment when you flip the switch," GitHub engineer Jesse Toth told one technology reporter, who notes that the tool is targeted at developers transitioning from a legacy system. "Scientist was born when GitHub engineers needed to rewrite the permissions code — one of the most critical systems in the GitHub application." The tool measures execution duration and other metrics for both test and production code during runtime, and Toth reports that they're now also developing new versions in Node.js, C#, and .Net..

    I'm more interested in why you not-so-subtly changed the meaning of what she wrote to fit your agenda.

    Slide: "Some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women."
    You: Github views white women as privileged and barriers to advancement of "the oppressed".

    Firstly, why the change from "some of the problems are white women" to "all white women are a problem"? It seems like to are trying to paint her as some kind of female misogynist. How does that serve your agenda?

    Then there is the "the oppressed". She doesn't use that phrase, so why do you?

    I've noticed a lot of "hit and run" ACs doing this lately. Paraphrase something incorrectly in the hope that no-one notices, ideally by being close enough to the original that a cursory glance by an already primed and angry reader won't reveal the deception. Sometimes people see it and they end up at -1 Troll, other times it slips through and creates a false narrative.
