#2This is advertisement. They use her story to promote the app. Of course she didn't write the thing, no "child prodigy" that "released an app that will change the world" in the last 10 years of apps, did.
It's either a political diversity narrative or emotional advertisement for a product.
But yeah, let's all waste our time holding 16 old kids "accountable" for their "unethical" behaviour, like big boy adults do, that'll teach them how to grow up!

#3"Such kind of people give Women in Code a really, really bad name, because sweetie, it takes tonnes of hardwork, cutting through competition, persistent dealing with sexism and lot of patience to make place for yourself in this male-dominant coveted industry."
It's quite ironic that in a sentence about sexism and a male-dominated industry, the author addresses the developer by 'sweetie'.

#4It's a 16 year old girl that programmed an app, of course you're going to have a shitstorm when you deconstruct the truth of the matter.
Good post though, I love people who exposes frauds.

Do you believe sweetie is a gendered word?

Given the author appears to be female, I suspect the irony is entirely on purpose.

So you're ok with they getting away with the all lies, but if someone writes something debunking them, you criticize the guy?

Isn't 'sweetie' something you just call young girls?

It seems to be one of those loaded words that's often used by a certain type of man to put women "in their place".

#10>> he “allowed her” to call the app hers, given certain “circumstances”.
Is this the actual quote? It sounds as though we're meant to read more into it. The real author could well be a parent, but I guess we're meant to read that it's a suitor.
