It's annoying when the subject of an article is interesting enough to warrant attention but the headline is sensationalized regardless.

To take this issue off the table, we've changed the title to something that's factually supported by the article.

If the article is great, then I don't see the harm.
It's worse when an article is completely misleading and the content/subject is underwhelming. This is definitely not the worst example of this.

You are missing the point, it is not about the girls or records; it is an infomercial aimed at girl coders.
>I’ve won 2 bronze medals at IOI, 1 bronze at CEOI, 2 silvers at IZhO. Mari, Ani and I competed in HackerRank Women’s Cup as a team last year, and we ranked third place! Some companies that sponsored the event even sent us a letter after the contest, but I had to tell them that we’re too young right now to work for them.
What records did they crush? They didn't even win any of the competitions they mentioned.
