> The controversy calls to mind that of Adria Richards last year

False.

I have to agree. Adria Richards took a picture of two guys then posted the, to twitter, complaining about a conversation the two were having that possibly contained sexual innuendo. The same sort that she made on twitter earlier.

In this case, someone has quit and said that a company hasn't been doing the right thing. That's a far more ethical stance to make.

Mind you, I've no idea what the issues were/are.

Yeah I'm curious as to why they included that at the end... It's a pretty bold claim, it doesn't add to the article, and there's nothing to back up what they're saying. It just adds to the shoddy journalism of recode.

Seems like we have a pretty lame situation here being documented by pretty lame journalists.

The fact that feminists still rally behind Adria discredits the movement.

Meanwhile, all sane male engineers will be walking the other way when they see Adria at a tech conference.
