Are you a man who works in tech, writing code for a living? Do you work with women who do the same? Then you absolutely are at high risk of always assuming their code isn’t good enough… that you know more than they do, even when it’s their area of experience, even when they have years more experience than you do. Unless you are working to explicitly remove the sexism assumptions our society has drilled into you, you are also being sexist. That’s how culture works.

Please stop. Be introspective.

@jensimmons Second this. It sucks being one of the women in tech and being mansplained by someone who has zero clue how things work and has less than five years in tech, then proceeds to shat on me for information I learned ages ago in college. Women have to be 3 times better on average than men, with our skin tone denoting how much extra work we have to do to show we know our stuff. The darker your skin the significantly more work you have to do to prove you’re good.
