It might have not been her sole idea or even her idea, I'll give you that. However there's no evidence it was not her idea of partly her idea.

Please, this is the kind of comment not welcomed here. I did read the article before commenting. You are trying very hard to read between the lines, when Google is claiming once and again that her work saved 1.5PB/day - I'm not sure why will you try so hard to read a hidden message in Google's words and dismiss what's written in plain English.
> it's clear that it was her "project".
So what? See my previous paragraph.
> She's an intern at Google, they're generally on a short leash.
Generally or always? In the US or in Europe? It was the second time she was interning at Google (it's in the article).
Again, you are trying very hard to read between the lines and guess.
This engineer did something that saved users 1.5PB/day. She did, no one else did. Other people did other stuff. To each their own - I'm not sure why do we have to downplay her achievement though.
P.S.: This is the kind of shit women have to put up with constantly. It might look like it's not important, but when you have to go through this every day it takes a toll on you. The worst part is that we don't even want to acknowledge it.

Oh, come on. I'm not being facetious. The wording in the article is "work", "project" not "idea" or "initiative" -- which frankly would have been the article I was expecting to read. The article isn't even about her, by word count it's mostly about Brotli. There's nothing in the article to suggest that this was anything outside the realm of day-to-day software engineering.

Why are you bringing gender into this? I don't care what her biological sex is. I care that the original HN title made it sound like an interesting article about storage or service architecture and instead it was just "Google intern successfully uses existing Google library".
It might have not been her sole idea or even her idea, I'll give you that. However there's no evidence it was not her idea of partly her idea.
