People making such a fuss over a list of funny names? Yes, that's office fun you wouldn't want your customers to know about, which I guess makes it a bit unprofessional. But still it's absolutely innocent fun. Whoever makes it into an existential political issue has lost it, seriously.
- predaking 5y ago> But still it's absolutely innocent fun. Not if you're one of the injured parties.
- andyxor 5y agoTruly these are first world problems
- avereveard 5y agoThis is truly becoming an issue in the first world, soon the biggus dickus sketch from The Life of Brian will be censored not to offend Richards across the country
- rimliu 5y agoFunny-names list survivors, let's not offend them with the improper nomenclature.
- adolph 5y agoYeah, I’m sure I’ve been on a few over time and yet still an inner drive towards pattern matching and spurious associations leads me to moments of light-heartedness tempered by not wanting to cause offense.

- bytelines 5y agoMaking fun of ethnic names isn't 'innocent fun' when your company purports to be diverse, equal, and inclusive. If you don't believe me, well, DHH himself agrees with this: it's a problem when you acknowledge the pyramid of hate, as he does. What's at issue is that he acknowledges all of this, then refuses to recognize any wrongdoing, dresses down employees in public, and claims that "political talk" -- about the company, about whether these practices are correct, about whether this is an inclusive and equal place -- is banned.
- ikt 5y ago> Making fun of ethnic names They're not necessarily ethnic, some people just have funny names: https://theawesomedaily.com/50-funny-names-that-are-so-unfortunate-theyre-actually-genius/ https://theawesomedaily.com/50-funny-names-that-are-so-unfor... https://www.newidea.com.au/funny-names https://www.newidea.com.au/funny-names In your opinion just how genocidal are these articles on the pyramid of hate?
- bytelines 5y agoYour links have nothing to do with what basecamp did?
- Udik 5y agoThey're lists of funny names, same as what Basecamp did.
- bytelines 5y agoWhat basecamp did "represents a serious, collective, and repeated failure at Basecamp [...] counter to creating an inclusive workplace. Nobody should think that maintaining such a list is okay or sanctioned behavior here."[1] [1] https://world.hey.com/dhh/let-it-all-out-78485e8e https://world.hey.com/dhh/let-it-all-out-78485e8e
