By the way, out of pure curiosity, why does it seem that there are a disproportionately high amount of super talented trans programmers? I mean, trans people make up for a relatively small percentage of the general populace so it would be unlikely for half of any random group, even if it's only 7 people, to be trans. There are even memes like programmer socks etc. I also personally know several very proficient programmers who are trans.

Could it be that they also happen to be autistic? There appears to be a pattern I've noticed where a large number of trans developers are also autistic. This may be responsible for a lot of the passion and dedication required to work on projects like this. (Mostly video game) Emulation is another field that seems to have a similar overlap. Some might say Rust is another one.
