False.
False.
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.
Seems like we have a pretty lame situation here being documented by pretty lame journalists.
Meanwhile, all sane male engineers will be walking the other way when they see Adria at a tech conference.
