Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project over what he perceives as code of conduct hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, de Espindola said he was leaving immediately and cited changes in the community.
LLVM project founder, Chris Lattner responded; "I applaud Rafael for standing by his personal principles, this must have been a hard decision." Lattner also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."

Nope. I skipped the 'diversity and inclusiveness' training, wrote some piece of code in those 3 hours.

What color was your code? I make sure my editor colors all my words differently so I don't offend anyone.

Is your background editor color black? Because, you know, some people might find that offensive

My editor's background is a shade of grey.

Yes, it is - inverted color scheme. Has nothing to do with inclusiveness, though.

White on black is how I roll.
