Not to presume which gender OP identifies with, but if you take a look at their GitHub profile, you'd probably come to the conclusion the the writer is not male.
Since the specific context matters to you, would you now suggest the parent of this thread then change the pronoun to "she" instead?
- rdslw 10y agoI've misread (english is not my native language) post with ", he takes it apart..." as a fact about author gender and reacted to subsequent comment which I find wrong. Answering your question: would he, or me, or other poster know the gender of author while writting about author -> we should use proper form. If no prior knowledge is present: it does not matter to me, and I consider it not worth mentioning or correcting.
