- tokenadult 13y agoThanks for pointing that out, for English pronoun usage at the very least. My eyes blazed right past the blog heading that uses (as I suppose) the author's given name. I didn't see any other author information on the post or on the about page for the blog.
- gknoy 13y agoI read the domain ("count aleph") and associated "count" with male nobility -- when in reality, now that I look more carefully, it must instead be a very clever pun on math, which makes lots of sense given that she (the author) likes math puzzles.
- nawitus 13y agoI don't. The majority of software engineers are male (apparently about 80%), so any given software engineer is probably male.
