Dude, you have nothing to apologize for. I understand why you feel like you do, I would to, but you don't. She took the liberty to be offended over something not directed at her, at your expense. By doing so she caused great damage, not only screwing you over greatly but also doing a huge disservice to the struggle for equality within the tech industry. I realize women have to put up with a lot of crap. I'm often flabbergasted by the kind of harassing childish behaviour women witness to at workplaces, conferences and user groups. The kind of stuff you can't believe adults can resort to. This is something different completely.

I hope you find a new job soon. Don't let this unexpected bump keep you down.


Luckily she got fired today! +1 SendGrid, -1000 PlayHaven! I am a big fan of SmartGrid now that they got rid of her. I don't know who would hire Adria as "Evangelist" now, since she is probably the most hated person among developers now! I also hope that all the best developers stay 1,000 miles away from PlayHaven!


Agreed!


Yeah that seems perfectly safe.


those three letter .com addresses are sexy.


I wonder how much he paid for that.


Considering the page is 'powered' by Instra.com, a domain sales site, I bet you he paid $0 for it and has an arrangement to use it in exchange for the publicity that it will give them.

Somebody is a Grumpasaurus!


did not believe you. NOW I'm freaked out.


It prompted me to log in even though I have FB open and am logged in in a separate tab.


I tried it and I did not have any prompt. I liked the Facebook Developers page without seeing any prompt or confirmation so it was completely transparent.

Maybe our privacy settings are different and that's why you saw a prompt even though you were logged in.


I've never had overtime pay as a web dev in Sweden but several of my employments, my current one included, offers an additional week of vacation per year as compensation.


is that per week?


Per month
