I’ll be the third. Your intention matters very little. What matters far
more is the effect of your words. Using ‘any CS girl can implement it’ as
a measure of how easy something is is certainly sexist in effect.

I have no idea what this says, but here’s a tip: if you find yourself
writing “no offense”, something’s gone wrong. You probably need to remove
whatever caused you to add that, and then you can drop the (usually false)
addition of “no offense”.
