This week on the show, @saronyitbarek and I chatted about a dispiriting story that has major implications for the tech world...

{% podcast https://dev.to/devnews/s4-e3-basecamp-backlash-remote-work-harassment-linux-kernel-submission-ban-and-crypto-miners-killing-free-ci %}

I’m talking about the problematic blog post put out by Basecamp CEO and Co-Founder Jason Fried earlier this week. Whether you’ve read it or not, I think you’ll find the conversation about it between Saron and I interesting. If the post put a major damper on your week, I’m right there with you 😔

### **In this episode, we also covered the following stories...**
- A report put out by the non-profit, Project Include, about how remote work is leading to more gender and racial harassment at tech companies. [McKensie Mack](twitter.com/mckensiemack) (founder & CEO of MMG and a co-author of the report) joined us on the show to discuss this.
- The University of Minnesota security researchers who submitted security vulnerabilities to the Linux kernel to show flaws in the approval process, leading to a call for a ban on anything submitted by umn.edu emails. [Hector Monsegur](twitter.com/hxmonsegur) (Security Researcher and Former Blackhat Hacker) joined us for this topic.
