    If you set your devenv theme to dark, it would be blackspace. If they question it, just call them racist.

    Actually, white people pretending to be black has been determined to be racist. So, John is not allowed to have a dark theme with any of his software, etc, since he is white. Same goes for me. :sigh:

      But SSMS doesn't have a dark theme, so we're still violating some snowflake's sensitivity somewhere..

      No, when using SSMS you are actually identifying yourself as a smurf. I believe the color is dark blue, so you are identifying yourself as a black smurf. This is alright, because as long as you are "identifying" yourself as something you are clearly not, you are Ok, and will not be placed on the special train.

        Ah, but he is not the spacing in his code. Did you just assume his IDE background's color!? :laugh:

              We were just told that we may not be able to include whitespace in our code... because it's not inclusive enough.

                Not a joke... We maintain a product that uses the terms 'master' and 'slave' to describe the certain roles within a data replication topology. It has been demanded of us by a potential user to change these names immediately in all source code, test suites, documentation, etc... :wtf:

                      In the word of finance a spread is a type of contract which has multiple legs. I once had the pleasure of writing the following spread.legs.push_back(...) No one mentioned it in the code review so it got committed and probably survives to this day.
