> BTW: This lady has a Masters from MIT. She def knows her way around things.

Moreso than that, Lea is near the end of a Ph.D. in David Karger's group, an expert on CSS, and overall amazing researcher and developer for the web.

I don't think people are "backing her up" because of sexism. I saw it more as: "She knows her shit. Dear devs, pay attention"

And yes, Lea is pretty awesome.

Yup. All too often I see posts just like this from someone who self taught themselves javascript two years ago and after building a few personal projects, thinks they're an expert on it.

> It's sad to see the sexism in the need to preemptively back her up.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Tell me that this was a joke.
