Could you elaborate on "Design and implement a "house style" for query builders and "modular" SQL statements"? How would you go about doing that, and what would it look like?

Hunter's point and the Filmore district are also heavily African-American. But when I was there during the 97-99 boom there was a noticeable lack of African Americans in tech and web companies.
