I can't tell satire from reality anymore.

I'm being very sincere. It feels out of place here for the masculine example name to be the outgoing FOSS-contributing self-driven one ("ideas people and leaders") and the feminine example name to be the one who is good at showing up on time, keeping her head down, and being told what to do.

If they were reversed, you could take offense to Alice being the head-in-the-clouds, undisciplined, and unreliable one while Bob is focused, hard-working, and gets the job done.

Of course that would be equally silly, because an example is just an example and there's no reason to read this sort of thing into it.

Hey now I didn’t say I was offended, just that it seems out of place in such a context :)
