SendGrid Fires Company Evangelist After Twitter Fracas
I really wish that this whole thing could have ended amicably (perhaps with Adria apologizing to the devs [by the way, the guy who was fired <i>has</i> already publicly apologized]).<p>It's too bad that sendgrid had to fire her, I would never wish that somebody had their livlihood taken from them like that, but her job was to be a developer evangelist, which is a job she isn't realistically capable of performing anymore.<p>I would feel <i>really uncomfortable</i> if I was in the same room as this person.  What if I accidentally say something that she finds offensive?  Am I next?<p>And honestly, she can't even function as a sort of "women's tech evangelist" anymore.  Most [all, actually] of the women I've talked to about this are <i>furious</i> with her over how badly this portrays women.<p>It sucks...but this is on par with firing a dev who can't program.
