Is the phrasing of this question bait?

  I don't know OP but I would guess not. In a lot of places (at least in the US), "guys" is not a gendered expression. My wife will often say "do you guys want to meet at 9?" to a group of 100% women, and nobody even thinks about it being a reference to gender.

    "Did you mean person, people, friends?" Is something along the lines of what our company Slack bot would auto reply when messages contained the word "guy[s]"

    Very common in the Midwest. Now that I live far enough south, I've been working at converting myself from "you guys" to "y'all". It's been surprisingly difficult. :)

    I don't often see people starting questions off with "do you guys" on Hacker News, but concidentally here it is on a gender-related post! Whatever, I don't care - I can't get upset over someone saying 'hey guys' (though I try and avoid that myself), and I dislike making slackbot reply to that - just thought it was funny and possibly bait :)
