I agree with what you said about meritocracy, mostly.

A few months ago, I made a sexist statement here on HN about women and that they don't think logically [0]. Well, I couldn't be more ashamed and sorry for that. I've known some incredible women in tech ever since, and came to realize that I was wrong. Tech is actually a place where women can shine.

[0] That statement got my account banned and I couldn't get it back.

Edit: corrected my sentences to better convey my meaning.

For the future, if you're actually contrite, you should probably stop referring to that belief as a "fact".

Yeah, actually I didn't know how to say that in English. I'll edit it.
