No Tools for You: A Century of Men Policing Women's Tools

> Not one of these guys questioned the pad dimensions, or asked about pin mapping accuracy. They went straight to identity assassination and their two minutes of hate.

Why would they ask those questions when the author claimed earlier that they did a write up of the project which likely contained those answers:

> Ladyada checked the pins, verified the dimensions, and shipped a board. Then she wrote it up because that’s what we do here: we test tools openly so others can decide for themselves.

In addition, maybe it's because I don't use any social media but I can't imagine she is the only person to have received this level of hate for using AI. This happened after an already particularly fiery public spat with Sparkfun and the public defense of Arduino. This didn't happen in a vacuum.

I don't think the sexism angle here is accurate since literally anyone who publicly uses an LLM at this point is attacked by mainstream leftist figures on social media and gets thousands of hate comments. But it's still unfortunate, and wrong.
