She probably didn't get another job because she's in the field of 'developer evangelism' and publicly skewered a developer without giving appropriate thought to the consequences of her actions. I think that might be an indication to employers that she might not be an appropriate candidate for the position of 'developer evangelist' unless they're willing to take on the risk associated for the benefit provided.

Right, I also seem to recall (and am absolutely ready to be corrected) that she name dropped her employer in it too, a la "I and we will make sure we never use any product produced by you or your employer", and that a large part of the firing was not a blackmail capitulation but "Adria has no authority to speak on behalf of the company".

"You're the person who publicly shamed a developer, which got him kicked out of a conference and fired, and then became a public target and had your employer DDoS'ed as a result, and you want to be the public face of our company to other developers? Yeah… maybe not."
