- bluehazed 8y agoSo from what I gather, the developer is leaving the project because LLVM is involved with a project that offers paid internships to women/trans/genderqueer and racial minorities? Classy.
- peterashford 8y agoSeriously? LLVM supporting minorities means that you have to leave? I cannot fathom how trying to be inclusive should matter to anyone - it does not diminish you in any way to offer a hand up to others. I work in games. I have never been to GDC or PAX while I have seen many women get funding to go there on the basis of being a female in games. That isn't an attack on me personally - it's an attempt to work against historical inertia. And it's great. My industry needs to change and we are better for having a broader range of voices heard. If this guy thinks that helping others is such a burden, then really, I struggle to muster any sympathy for him.

- asdsa5325 8y agoThe writer of the post is part of a minority group. Note that encouraging minorities to contribute and excluding majorities from contribution is very different. As he said in the post, the latter is what he was concerned about.
- eropple 8y agoThe latter is not actually happening. Reality matters. His read is averse to it.
