The stupidity is almost palpable.

And this is why people roll their eyes when somebody puts contributor or developer for open source project "blah blah" as a qualification in and of itself.

  • 1. press ctrl+shift+h
  • 2. put whitelist in the top box
  • 3. put acceptlist in the bottom box
  • 4. press okay.

That is literally all this person did. Maybe 10 seconds of work - 0 coding. Maybe less. Modern IDEs generally have awesome built in tools for refactoring so it may have been right click - refactor - name - okay. Things like this also make snicker when I see things like the recent article where somebody was outraged at instead of being asked to talk about their work on open source projects during an interview, they were asked to put their skills on display. They did not pass.

The typically charged title. "Fuck you, I quit. Hiring is broken"

Time to submit a PR to make it "CrackerList".

How about 'NotOnWelfareList'

If breathing actually required thought, policheck would have suffocated long ago. How can someone so brilliantly stupid have survived this long?

I'm pretty sure policheck is an automated tool, so no breathing required!

Heheheh... So this is proof that AI's aren't so intelligent ;-)

Policheck complaining about the term "whitelist" without explanation stinks of Orwellian/Marxist speech policing. I'm also sure the crowell poster is a controlled opposition post designed to achieve the goal of getting "whitelist" censored with less obvious language control. Programmers are likely already being targeted heavily for when the glorious revolution occurs.

"i don't like the way you said "Black list" "

That's the sort of overt racism that made me leave github.

Remind me to replace "whitelist" with "aryanlist" and "blacklist" with "niggerlist" just to piss these fucks off.
