Jen SimmonsBeing a woman in the tech industry has unfortunately given me an incredible amount of experience dealing with hate, harassment, & violent verbal attacks. It’s given me an incredibly thick skin. However recent attacks are pushing me over some kind of edge. It’s horrible to work hard on something for years, with an amazing team, only to have the weirdest, totally-wrong theories floated around as fact, endorsed by colleagues across the web industry. This level of hatred and cynicism is shocking.
Doug Bowman@jensimmons I’m so sorry to hear this Jen. I greatly admire the work you and your team do, and am so thankful for all *you* specifically contribute. You’re working to make the web and our lives better, and you deserve all our gratitude.
@stop Oh that means so much to hear from you, Doug! You were one of my early heroes in the web industry. I learned so much from your writing and your work. And I aspired to be like you and so many others who led the charge in the early days of CSS.
@jensimmons The <tables> have turned! 😀 It’s me who learns so much from you now.
