I find it intensely unwelcoming, and it's not reflective of the type of working environments I value. https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1rl5kuq/anyone_know_whats_up_with_httpx/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1rl5kuq/anyone_know...

It's like that time I started a primary school and then closed it because I hated that the overwhelming majority of employees were women.

  unbelievable, how can a single person affect negatively FOSS so much? I mean really, closing repos? excluding maintainers? committing only on private repos? This type of behavior should be moderated and banned from any FOSS activity to avoid exactly this situation of becoming a liability. I've never seen a open source project page without a github link or a git clone ref like this https://www.encode.io/hx/ https://www.encode.io/hx/ it is so ridiculous, wasn't that stuff on github? and isn't it anyway there due to over 1k forks? what's the advantage of having this behaviour? I see it only damaging towards the person, the project and the community.

  I don't know anything about the history/context here, but in general an example would be if a developer were to receive gender-based harassment.

    You know you can delete emails and messages you don’t like, right? And again, both genders can write good/bad software just the same.
