You don't think she's good enough because of it.
Seriously, the startup world and the Valley is such a male-dominated place. I would imagine it's not easy being a woman in this space.
There are so many blog posts from men who went to the top of Hacker News and some of them from people who have no experience delivering. I also haven't seen any of her posts here for a long time.
I'm not saying we cut her slack but let's hold her to the same standard we do for posts by men here on Hacker News.
Look at the article that was linked here. I'm not blaming any of this on her. The guy who added this and the people who upvote it only did so for one reason.
There is hardly anything informative in this article that hasn't been said a million times over. EDIT: I shouldn't even be calling it an article.
