We all are. Even the tech lead at the top of your program is only good at what they’re good at (bad attempt at humor removed) Nobody knows everything and most of us are just googling stackoverflow like you are.
Rhetoric like this discourages women from becoming engineers, saying that a female tech lead isn’t even a possibility is pretty sexist. For the record, if you had just said “he” without the sassy parenthetical I wouldn’t have batted an eye.
*Now that I think about it, pretty sexist is an understatement, it’s just plain sexist. Female tech leads exist, look it up, and stop perpetuating sexist ideas in tech

I apologize. That was meant to be a humorous commiseration on the state of a profession that tends to be gender biased, but clearly I missed.
Just noticed this, fair play to you! Sorry for the misunderstanding :)
As a female tech lead, its comforting to know I don’t exist!
