Well, I will perhaps endure flak or downvotes for pointing a few things out, but Rachel:

- Is female [TIL the term "wogrammer"]

- Works for Facebook [formerly Rackspace and Google] so an undeniably Big MAMAA

- Has been blogging prolifically for at least 14 years [let's call it 40 years: she admin'd a BBS at age 12]

- Website is custom self-hosted; very old school and accessible; no ads or popup bullshit

- Probably has more CSE/SWE experience+talent in her little pinky finger than 80% of HN commenters

So I'd say that her position and experience command enough respect that we cannot judge her merely by peeking at a few trifling journal entries.

And yet that's exactly what HN does
