See, I&#x27;m inclined to believe it. If for no other reason than it just seems intuitive. Women who go into technology know it&#x27;s an uphill battle. They work that much harder and honestly I&#x27;d <i>expect</i> their work to be better, on average, particularly for open source projects because they are genuinely interested in improving the code. They always have to contend with the thought, &quot;Will people reject this because I&#x27;m a woman? Better make sure it&#x27;s as good as it possibly can be so they can&#x27;t reject it based on that.&quot;
