He isn't trying to diminish but these misleading exaggerated titles are pretty annoying and confusing at times.

    I agree that the title is misleading but simply saying she was the one directing the team without also mentioning that she absolutely did write a chunk of that is also misleading and diminishes her contribution to the code.
