[Mz]

I resemble some of those remarks: I also can't program and I also happen to be female. And my questions tend to not get much feedback. But I have a long, long history of falling on my face in that regard, starting well before I ever heard of Hacker News, so I don't think it's "them". I'm pretty darn sure it's me. I participate anyway. It's been a growth experience and I like it here.

YMMV, and probably will.
