They is plural.

  They has been used as a neutral generic singular in English for a very long time. I believe there are extant examples in Shakespeare, for example.

  ..but colloquially "they" has been used as the 3rd person unisex singular for a long time. Still don't understand how "she" avoids sexism. The article is missing the stage where you get into management, fall hopelessly behind on current technologies, and forget how to code.
