She's a she. It fits into the whole hacker news agenda of championing women in tech.

The fact it's not true doesn't really matter.

If a man had done the exact same project, no one would care. So, well done her for being a woman.

I wish that I had the karma to downvote you for relevance.

Like you said, "If you post some idiotic comment, and 1,000 people agree with you, that's quite a powerful feedback loop."

Not true. The most obvious example of a man embarking on a similar project - which people did care about - was Jonathan Coulton, who rose to fame at least partially thanks to his "thing a week" project and the output from that.

Jayenkai's "Game A Week" project (male dev) has also attracted quite a bit of press.

You make a mighty strong argument, but I think I'll side with the guy that wrote more than one sentence.

Several of these have unspecified gender, or are males: https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=%22tau...

One sentence; how'd I do?
