Brianna has had a tough time at her current employer. She was CEO, then bumped down to head of development, then all the way down to engineer. Those stupid management types just look out for their own, but with hard work she's back as head of development and giving the man hell.

Here's the one million dollar question:
What did he do to help women and trans people in tech? Other than making them look bad

Look at that profile. It doesn't matter a guy can show how much he "gets it" by finding a woman to approve of his behavior. Then he can be close to women and also feel good about his problematic behavior. He can go with his new friends and look down his nose at the other people they don't approve of.... who are practically stone age savages and he's like some progressive space man from the future.
I really think that's who cucklords think they are. When in reality they're just people who really want to be good guys but they're too dumb to think through complex issues on their own for various reasons.

Gave a few female developers a leg up into the software development world? Before she completely ran GSK's name into the ground, it probably could have been a half-decent addition to a new grad's resume.

And for that I feel bad for any graduate who somehow ends up as an employee for GiantBum Kat, when there are hundreds of startups that are less shit and actually care about doing their job (they respect deadlines, for example.)
Having that stink in their resume truly is suffering.

They can always pretend it never happened.
Also, if nothing else, the GSX employees got free training in Unreal (or at least got paid to faff around on the computer and teach themselves) since apparently none of the team knew it coming in.

Which is still hilarious to me. Brianna tries to spin it as something that highlights what a great manager she is but it just demonstrates how terrible she is at planning a project. Women who know how to develop with Unreal aren't as rare as she makes it seem and you mean to tell me that the scope of Revolution 60 is so grand that it can only be realized through Unreal? Bullshit on both counts, Wu.
Frankly, if Wu wanted to sound more impressive, he'd have coded his own custom built engine from the ground up. Unreal already provides a ready built frame to bolt your ideas onto, just depends on your skill, but it still hands you a lot of the work done right off the bat. Had R60 been designed on a custom engine written from scratch, even if the game was crap, it would still be impressive to see Wu had the chops to make a custom engine, as coding from nothing takes time, effort, and dedication, since you have to build the foundation before you can do anything else, and even then you are still on your own.
Given Wu had a ready built engine with tons of community support and needed a team to do most of the work and we still got the pisspoor product we've seen so far, Wu looks like a pretentious idiot playing at genius to anyone who knows the slightest bit about game coding.

A manager to whom exactly? Right now GSX has four employees, Wu herself, her husband, her Co-Founder Amanda and a person that might or might not exist and ,as far as I come to understand, handles mostly the 'tons' of harassment Wu receives. So if you break it down, the only person she truly manages is someone of questionable existence. Yes sure, there is more to managing than coordinating your subordinates, but in this case... where is the steam release? Where is the transparency she owes her Kickstarter backers? Wu is pretending again, the only thing she 'manages' is her facade - and she doesn't even manage that very well.
I know people that are like Wu when it comes to projects/ideas:
Those people have this one idea, they want to turn into 'something'. Mostly it is something they had on their mind for a long time and is probably the only 'grand idea' they will ever have. Those people have fallen in love with their own idea so much, they are usually quite 'resistant' to any form of reality-check from other people. Neither are they able to let it go, even if they try something new, they most likely circle back to this old idea. Reality itself usually needs kick in and smack them into the face before they reconsider, and if this is the case they usually blame everyone and everything else, because their magnum opus is beyond good and evil.
I wouldn't be surprised, if Wu started programming an engine, but then realized that she would never-ever finish that, without hiring a lot of people who know what they are doing, so Wu fell back to the Unreal Engine. Of course it was probably HER idea to go to Unreal, even if people told her so from the beginning.
The idea of programming an engine from scratch, without realizing that GSX hasn't any talent for this (or hiring such talent) shows that Wu has the entrepreneurial awareness of a 13-year-old.
If you want to build a house, you don't start by stoving bricks, you buy them, because your aim is to build a house. You have to understand that the time, manpower and the resulting quality of the bricks will probably result in a longer time before the house is finished and it's quality being sub-par. You start to stove your own bricks when you already know how to build a proper house and when you know that you will build several more houses in the next so-and-so.

So a social media PR of some sort? Wow, I noticed that he's pretty much a nobody, not even a significant Google presence for his company.
Anyway, if this guy is legit, Wu should have contacted him way earlier.
