Well, he said "should of gotten". I know I'm supposed to be a good egalitarian and not assume that people who make third-grade grammatical mistakes are probably not very intelligent, but really...
Quotes like that (although not surprising coming from super-leftist Buzzfeed), just make it obvious that this is part of a concerted journalist smear campaign.
Actually if all the men who were boycotting Target over the men in the women's bathroom issue would just go to Target and use the women's bathroom every time they had to go, Target would change its policy in a BIG hurry.
Actually the latest white power symbol is a white image of an apple with a bite taken out of it, which symbolizes the superior white race being chosen by God to cleanse the earth after Adam and Eve took a bite of the poisoned apple in the garden of Eden.
Damn straight - this country was founded on the principle that anything I associate with anything I disagree with should be removed not just from my sight, but from everybody else's sight, too!
Well that's the thing - if you stop working for the bad guys and start working for the "good guys", you'll stop finding these things. You'll spend all your time attending two-hour "standup" meetings, filling out time sheets in 15-minute increments, begging some MBA "project manager" who doesn't understand your job but still makes more money than you do to allow you to charge to a project code so that your time adds up to 40 hours each week, trying to drown out all of the noise in your trendy "collaborative" open office, setting vague profitability annual "goals", writing up "roadmap strategy" documents, justifying how much time you're going to spend doing something before you do it, filing TPS reports, refiling TPS reports with the right covers, and checking to see if the windows open enough that you jump to the sweet release of death, and no time at all studying the haystack of specifications that may or may not yield the needle that you're looking for.
lose the ability to understand what's actually being provided under the hood
As far as I can see, we're already there. Unfortunately, the decision makers, who got to be decision makers by being ridiculously, unrealistically optimistic, are also assuming that reality doesn't matter. I would have thought that all of the security breaches that have happened, and continue to happen, would have brought the world to its senses, but it looks like they've decided to double-down on the "details and facts don't matter".
Why exactly does Chief Information Officer Paul Ramsay have to be an American located in America? What does he do that an Indian in Bangalore couldn't do better for half the price in this highly competitive 24/7 retail environment?
The generations that were born and died before me? Yes, I'm well aware that I'm being made to pay for things that people who died 100 years ago supposedly did.
Hehe - there are actually quite a few things I’d like to see changed in the software development profession - unpaid overtime, open-plan offices and two-hour daily “standup” meetings among them. My opinions are irrelevant because I’m a filthy, despicable white male - if women have found themselves in a position of having opinions that might be valued and listened to, maybe they can champion some of these real issues, rather than demanding “codes of conduct”.
Because you're a man and don't have to deal with it every single day
But because he's a man, he does have to deal with wondering every day if he'll lose his job because he said "good morning" to somebody who didn't want to be spoken to - somehow that's more reasonable?
Well, not OP, but - in my two decades in this business, I’ve dealt with my share of jerks, idiots, and unreasonable or unpleasant people. But since I’m a white male, I don’t assume that they’re this way because I’m white or male, I just figure that’s the way they are, and I’ve learned how to avoid and navigate around those people. It just seems to me that far too many women jump to the conclusion that those people are treating them differently when the annoying reality of human interaction is that some people just won’t get along with other people. I’m all for trying to fix THAT problem, but focusing on walking on eggshells around women because they’re women won’t make that any better; if anything, it will (or has) make it worse.
"uncomfortable" is the feeling you get when you see that a project has a Code of Conduct
So let's see then - we're trying to avoid making people feel uncomfortable, but you think that codes of conduct make people uncomortable - so you agree that codes of conduct are a bad thing? Or do you only care about making certain narrow, specific demographics uncomfortable and don't much care about the others?
I don't remember him bitching about women or disabled people or on looks
Can't help but notice that TFA doesn't point to any examples of that, either. They just say "felt unwelcome". They didn't say "felt unwelcome, but for technical reasons, so it was understandable."

why BuzzFeed is being treated like a legitimate news agency?
Apparently because they're anti-Trump/anti-Republican. That's all it takes, it seems.
"Trump-style tactics?"

Apple is a private company and can do what they want
But Fox News can't, remember.

I dare you to find a CEO who DOESN'T trick (or just demand) his employees to work for free in the form of unpaid overtime.
Well that's the thing - if you stop working for the bad guys and start working for the "good guys", you'll stop finding these things.

And why do they think Hillary (or Bernie, for that matter) would have been any better?

d'oh!
Fortunately, I only drink pints, never units.
Maybe she meant they shove people around?
for generations
The generations that were born and died before me? Yes, I'm well aware that I'm being made to pay for things that people who died 100 years ago supposedly did.
Ah, sorry, didn't pick up on the sarcasm the first time around.
You REALLY don't see the irony in responding to me that way?

It was hard not to notice that there were no specific examples in the article.

These stories always turn into dumpster fires
Only because you keep participating.
