Yeah, but your code will be culturally one-sided! You need diverse coding practices, like three-space indentation!

My favorite was companies like IBM setting a goal for 50% female engineering representation even though barely 20% of the respective college grads were female. Like, they're just blatantly picking from a smaller pool, making it statistically inevitable that they're bypassing more qualified people.

But people here evidently support this sort of gender/race based discrimination. 🤷
