GitHub is known to have a dubstep and IPA culture. If they want to be a standard bearer for feminism in tech, the transition is going to be difficult and they are going to take some hits. The two cultures don't mix well.

It sounds like GitHub is going to have to become more stale and corporate to survive as a larger company, which is inevitable, but hastened by their own choices.

They will have to move to a MDMA/THC based culture fused with early 90's pop + Mid 2000's minimal techno. This is a small step for a dubstep IPA culture. It's like moving from the Midwest to NYC.

What point are you trying to make here? Are you a classical music and hefeweizen type of employee typically? Or maybe based out of Seattle, in which case you'd prefer a more grunge/PBR culture?

Here in Seattle we like IPA so much, we invented a dark faux-IPA style called CDA (Cascadian Dark Ale). And no one listens to grunge anymore.
CDA was probably invented in Vancouver, FWIW. http://www.newschoolbeer.com/2012/11/who-owns-cascadian-dark...
he's trying to say bro-grammer with the bro-gram.
Look on the bright side, at least it's not brostep culture.
Oh come on, what do a music genre and beer type have to do with anything?
Women can't like dubstep or IPAs?

Come on now...

No, they're only allowed to like top-40s and cosmos.

to be fair, sagan was pretty damn awesome
You. I like you.
Damn that evil sexist dubstep and IPA ...

Now we know what the real problems are in this industry: taste in music and beer!

Gasp, not Dubstep!!1!
