#The PyCon Drama


I was hesitant to include this, as I'm not much for drama... but there are probably a couple lessons to learn from this one. The quick version: Adria Richards of SendGrid finds joke offensive (comments), posts picture of joke teller on twitter, he loses his job, internet goes crazy, SendGrid gets DDOSed (and HN deletes threads), and lastly Adria gets canned. Amanda Blum's take is probably the best wrap-up. Besides all that, PyCon sounded fun.
