Oh, cool. I just realized I am lucky to not be listed in Leslie Horn’s terrible "article" [1]. I forked a URL shortener a few years ago. One feature I added was to avoid auto-generating offensive short URLs, which is on GitHub [2]. (In the early days of URL shorteners, TinyURL used a simple increment function to generate URLs (aa, ab, ac, …), and someone waited until "the C word" was up next and pointed it at the then-First Lady's website, apparently as a joke. Okay, that's easy enough to learn from.) [1]: http://gizmodo.com/5980842/there-is-blatant-racist-and-sexist-language-in-github-code http://gizmodo.com/5980842/there-is-blatant-racist-and-sexis...
