Uhuh, so, using implicit "he" in technical documentation is so not-ideological and so technical/rational, but changing it to a neutral(!) term is not.

Or:

> In Ladybird, we treat human language as seriously as we do programming language.

... so you're enforcing some, like, standards of how you speak friendly with each other, right? Haha, no:
