My gut tells me there was probably sexism at GitHub, drama with founder's wife, AND she was probably not blameless either in this whole mess. It was disheartening to me to see people rally to her on Twitter and immediately cry for the sacking of GitHub before any facts or concrete allegations were made by anyone involved, her especially. That's the stuff angry mobs are made of.

True, but you can also witness the opposite on Twitter: Claims of sexism met with a deluge of trolls threatening to rape the claimant.

That's worse than disheartening to me. That's straight up disgusting. I haven't seen the threats yet but it doesn't surprise me.
