      It’s busy work. Reviewing it to make sure they didn’t fuck it up takes away time to do literally anything else. It adds zero value, it only has downsides.

        I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.

        There’s a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.

        It’s casual sexism. I’m not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.

        Assuming it’s a man because it’s programming is fundamentally sexist.

        What downsides would they be?

        I didn’t label him a sexist. But that is a sexist act. Assuming a man because programming fundamentally is sexist.
