Susan Fowler became a household name in the tech world when she published a blog post in February outlining Uber's record of discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexism.

Her blog post blew open the door to numerous horror stories about Uber from more and more women who worked there. Since then, Uber the scandal has continued to deepen (and nobody's sure it has a bottom).

But it's been a quiet two months — at least in public — for Fowler. Now, she's making her first major move since. Fowler will become editor-in-chief of Increment, a new publication from Stripe. Fowler has been working for the payments tech company nearly since she left Uber.

Increment will cover a “collection of insider tips cultivated from inside Silicon Valley’s largest and most influential companies and entrepreneurs.” A lot of that will be technical writing that explains how some of the best coders do their jobs, according to Recode.

The quarterly publication puts Fowler back in the public eye. Until Thursday, Fowler hadn't tweeted since Uber allegedly started investigating her. Now, she's back on Twitter, introducing her new publication to the world.

“The decision to join Stripe and run Increment was a pretty easy one for me: It was an opportunity to be impactful, to collect and share best practices from the most effective engineering teams in the world. Increment is a step toward flattening the distance between the Silicon Valley elite and developers everywhere," she said in a statement for Recode.

Be on the lookout for Increment — and for more from Fowler besides the Uber drama.
