    Rhetoric like this discourages women from becoming engineers, saying that a female tech lead isn’t even a possibility is pretty sexist. For the record, if you had just said “he” without the sassy parenthetical I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

    *Now that I think about it, pretty sexist is an understatement, it’s just plain sexist. Female tech leads exist, look it up, and stop perpetuating sexist ideas in tech
