GitHub Co-Founder Resigns After Harassment Investigation

Tom Preston-Werner, a co-founder and former chief executive of GitHub, a website for sharing and collaborating on software code, resigned on Monday after an investigation into gender-based harassment, though the company said the investigation found no evidence of illegal practices. The accusations surfaced when Julie Ann Horvath, a software designer and developer at GitHub, publicly resigned last month, citing a culture of disrespect and intimidation of women at GitHub, including mistreatment by Preston-Warner and his wife, who was not a GitHub employee.
