I see two issues with the paper.

The first is that the measure of quality doesn't actually capture quality. It's like measuring the quality of a writer by looking at only their grammar and spelling.

The second is that it implicitly makes causal claims, but the design makes it impossible to infer any causal relationship between sex and code.

Curious what others' take is on just the empirics of the paper itself.
