If you want to avoid having a huge discussion with me about bias, male privilege and how unaware most men are of it, and how it excludes half the potential usership/talented developers, and how representation matters -- and believe me, you do want to avoid this discussion -- you will want to avoid referring to the user as a "he". It might be true in your case. But it is also true in your case that you are Russian. Yet you write English here, probably to avoid excluding people from the discussion. And you should demonstrate the same courtesy to people who do not happen to identify with the same gender as you do. In short: every time you think of a user or a developer as "he", take a step back and reflect how excluded *you* would feel if someone forced you to change that to "she". That is exactly how much you exclude non-males if you think of them as "he". Just don't. The remedy is easy: use the gender-neutral "they". Which is, by the way, not a modern invention as of late (in contrast to the "he" you use): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they#Older_usage Ciao, Dscho
