I imagine that any gains she's made from GamerGate has to be balanced against loads of angry fat bedroom boys breathlessly sending her anonymous death threats via twitter.
I didn't realize parents giving their children some of the money they've earned is a problem, but I guess I'm wrong and it's up there with institutional racism, lack of parity in pay between sexes etc.
Remind me; why is it a problem, again? And what's it got to do with you, anyway? Are you jealous?
You're getting really shit hardware for $250-300. Perhaps an ultraplastic piece of shit. Unless your idea of developing is using notepad to ponce around with small html files, you won't be doing any serious development on it.

Why are people working for less than their market value? If there are genuine reasons, don't you think those reasons lower their market value? Perhaps they want to work for a non-profit. There's plenty of other places they could be working (if they're any good).
"In addition the inscrutable error messages"
Well, Stroustrup himself describes them as "appalling", and Concepts was supposed to clean some of this stuff up. Roll on c++17...
> Agree, but they should have had a much better response prepared
No, doesn't matter what "the response" is. They're firing someone, effective immediately. You don't worry about what the users think.
"It's like if you suddenly fire the company rep that your main customer has been dealing with exclusively for years. You don't just call them up and say "hey, Joe's no longer with us, we'll get back to you in a bit about his replacement.""
It's like that except the "main customer" doesn't give you any money, but acts like they're shareholder or they're on the board or something. Like a kid in his dad's suit, greased back hair. "I'm not happy with this situation! Why wasn't I told earlier". You can imagine the people who run reddit watching the drama and thinking "who the fuck do these entitled cretins think they are? Uh..yeah, put out a statement, say "we're sorry, we...uh...yeah, could have handled it better. Sounds like we're sorry but really we don't give a fuck and would do the same thing next time".
We don't know what "Joe" did. Assuming it was something terrible enough to get him frogmarched out of the building, you're just unhappy with the string of characters submitted to the customer to explain that he's no longer around? That's the beef?
Yeah, good luck with that. Let's come back in a couple of weeks time and see how different reddit it. My money is on - no different in any way whatsoever. And all the whiners will still be there. Users, eh? Never happy.
They don't know why she was fired, right? But they want her back? Is that it? The internal, human resources issues aren't the concern of non-employees. They want reddit to OK their decisions with non-employees? To tip them off? "Keep this quiet, but we're going to fire someone in a couple of weeks; can you start arranging AMAs with this other person instead?". What a joke.
Sure but that comment... why post it anonymously? Afraid of reprisals?
The casual racism. I probably come from oversees relative to you. Am I bad? Are you? What does it mean? Does it only work for one country? Sounds like religious bollocks too; the religion I happened to have been born into is the only true one; the others are evil. It's just simplistic bullshit for uneducated peasants, isn't it.
In the exciting world of html hairdressers, where this week's javascript framework and version control tool is far more important than writing code that's going to be stable, fast and be around in more than 2 months.
"My Grandmother on Mother's side always said all bad things come from oversees"
Embarrassing elderly relative.
