That was her goal from the beginning, people like that don't really care, for them it's a hustle.
This person was jaded to begin with. With her blog domain "butyoureagirl". She's gonna cash in heavy on the whole ordeal of sexism in our field. She was prepared.
It's odd, though, as a developer evangelist you'd assume she would have her Github on "Connect with me" widget on the site.
LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and even Youtube. But no Github.
"... she work to promote inclusivity within the developer community"
Yeah people like that aren't here for the code, they're here to cash in. Branding baby.
The term conference hoe' comes to mind, you know, all gender neutral and shit.
Agree. But would like to point out that most likely the developer I will assume admitted to readily (and honestly) what he had actually said.[1] He may not have thought it was so bad -or- he simply underestimated the reaction of his employer. Hard to believe that if he had hemmned and hawed a bit and put off saying anything (giving himself a chance to think it through) that the employer would have fired him a) based on what a friend or third party reported or b) based on what Adria Richards did.
[1] Remind me of the scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where Judge Reinhold (the fast food clerk in the particular scene) admitted being surly with a customer and was fired by the manager on the spot.
