Three teen sisters who win medals in coding competitions
I&#x27;m not sure what you mean by positive change.<p>Firstly, the article was very sexist and I don&#x27;t see that changing any time soon.<p>&quot;programming is just another skill to be mastered through persistence — with or without a Y chromosome.&quot;.  Can anyone point me to a link where anyone (other than a feminist) has said this?<p>Smashing of records? They came 2nd and 3rd in most instances.  That&#x27;s not refuting they may be talented, but the title is misleading, in more ways than one.<p>Look, my wife is a damn good engineer. I am not intimidated in the slightest by good female engineers (I&#x27;ve mentored male and female engineers - despite constant accusations from feminists that this does not happen).<p>Can we please establish a policy on YC that false, sexist or dishonest articles (like this one) be discouraged?  This is a thinly veiled pulp piece of sexist journalism.<p>There has never been a myth that women can&#x27;t code. My wife is over 50 and is more than capable with specification, design, coding, testing (unit, integration, regression, acceptance) and maintenance. She also does network design, among many other skills.  She&#x27;s old school and got there on her own motivation and talent, not puff and propaganda.  I went to university with many women in the same boat.<p>This is nothing but a propaganda piece.  It&#x27;s s shame we can&#x27;t celebrate these young people&#x27;s success without resorting to sexism and untruths.
