Julie Ann Horvath Describes Sexism And Intimidation Behind Her GitHub Exit

http://j.mp/1cN5lUY  (Techcrunch)

    "In her initial tweets on her departure, Horvath did not provide
     extensive clarity on why she left the highly valued startup, or who
     created the conditions that led to her leaving and publicly
     repudiating the company.  Horvath has given TechCrunch her version of
     the events, a story that contains serious allegations towards GitHub,
     its internal policies, and its culture. The situation has greater
     import than a single person's struggle: Horvath's story is a tale of
     what many underrepresented groups feel and experience in the tech
     sector."
