"I also got some really awful hate mail that tried to drag my gender in. But I don’t think this is a gendered topic..."
" I think that my perspective is somewhat colored by both my gender and my age. A lot of the kernel maintainers came into Linux at the very beginning when there weren’t a lot of women in there."
"So I think they picked up a little bit of the brogrammer culture"

I find it fascinating how some people seems to be perfectly able to apply logic when they write code, and yet seemingly oblivious to it in their real life...
