So far we like it. It helps people feel more comfortable being unreachable for
a period of focused work. As a founder, I get a sense that it can help make
people do the stuff that matters, vs. wasting time chatting on Slack.

I read that the total number of woman living in silicon valley is extremely low compared to the total number of man living in silicon valley. And that woman account for less than 10 percent of the total number of board directors in the valley. What can we do about that?! (well, at least there is one advantage: as a startup you won’t have to waste your time on visiting hundreds of Weddings every month :-))

The title is inflamatory, sensational, and misleading - albeit effective.

As others have pointed out, this isn't a "linux trojan" as much as it is a
"software source code repository hack."

Dropping a trojan into someones unguarded source repository can happen on any
system. This isn't anywhere close to a "security breach" for linux because
people still had to download and compile source.

This raises an interesting question - do you trust the source you build? But
that's a different issue. The closest thing to Linux security issues is the
null pointer bug which allows arbitrary execution as root. And that's like one
in 25 years as far as I know.
