Less than two weeks after he was appointed Mozilla CEO, Brendan Eich resigned today amid a controversy stemming from his $1,000 donation to an anti-gay marriage ballot proposition in California. Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didnt live up to it. We didnt act like youd expect Mozilla to act. Eich, who co-founded Mozilla and previously invented the JavaScript programming language, has also stepped down from the Mozilla Foundations board, according to Recode. Earlier this week, Eich said he remained confident he was the best person to serve as Mozillas CEO despite the controversy.
