>Does anyone here have proof of gender discrimination or she was a good engineer?

Her skills and/or experience as a software developer have absolutely nothing to do with this. Someone's performance on a job is completely irrelevant when it comes to harassment or intimidation in the workplace.

You are part of the problem with sexism that exists in software development teams.

indeed it has nothing to do with gender: the article quotes hint that she was performing poorly and thus raged against people - used any kind of things available to her to circunvent the performance issue - including saying shes being harrassed or told she perform poorly because shes a women - even thus they seem to imply it has not been the case.

see the problem?

the only gender based issue is calling her queen.

i think people like you are the problem with toxic workplaces in general l you're blindly transforming arguments into whatever serves your cause - even when unjustified.

If she feels like people are treating her as if she's not good at her job because she's a woman when the reality is that she's just not good at her job, then yes, that is relevant. Not every time a woman gets passed over for a promotion is sexism, and all we've heard is one, obviously biased, detail-free version of the "story."
