Susan Wojcicki, Former Chief of YouTube, Dies at 56
(www.nytimes.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Looked up her name on Twitter to see what people were saying about this, that was a mistake ๐
A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason, she was far from perfect, but all things considered I think she did fine as CEO and I never got the hate. It can't be easy to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.
She was wealthy and in a position of power over something they cared about, which she managed in a way they didn't agree with. Some people have a hard time seeing people who are very distant from them and not part of their particular tribe as human beings.
Nevertheless, she was a human being, and presumably she had loved ones who are now grieving her loss. I don't want to think about what this vitriolic spew is doing to them.
