&gt; except that because of the original remote nature of Github the first thing you saw was their work and then the person.<p>Unless their name is in their username. Or they have a profile picture of themselves. Or they have their real name on their commits. Or their username or picture is something stereotypically masculine&#x2F;feminine.<p>I searched for &#x27;things&#x27; on Github and looked at the most recent committer of the first 20 responses (easiest way I could think of to get a random sample of users). For 16 of them, I could easily see that they were male. 2 of them had their names, but I wasn&#x27;t sure if the names were feminine or masculine. 2 had no hints whatsoever.
