Hey! I've noticed that in this post you use "guys" as a reference to the entire community, which is not made up of only guys but a variety of community members.

I'm running an experiment and hope you'll participate. Would you consider changing "guys" to a more inclusive term? If you're open to that, please let me know when you've changed it and I'll delete this comment.

For more information and some alternate suggestions, see dev.to/seankilleen/a-quick-experim....

Thanks for considering!

Hi Sean, I've changed the reference to "folks". I don't mind you keeping this comment around either.

I don't think that it's a big deal, I'd like to hear from those potentially affected, but it's a simple enough change to make that I'm ok giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Cheers!

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I don't think it's a big deal either; I think that every little bit to be welcoming helps in this industry. I did the post after a few instances where people thanked me, which told me that more people likely notice and appreciate it.

That's good to hear!
Well, if at least a few people feel that it's worth it to them, it's worth doing, since it doesn't hurt.
