Three teen sisters who win medals in coding competitions
I'm not sure what you mean by positive change.<p>Firstly, the article was very sexist and I don't see that changing any time soon.<p>"programming is just another skill to be mastered through persistence — with or without a Y chromosome.".  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'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'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'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'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's s shame we can't celebrate these young people's success without resorting to sexism and untruths.
