I know no one stops you from using hashtag `codevember` on vibe coded project[0], but... isn't the whole point of these one month challenges(genuary, nodevember, inktober, etc) about human creativity? Like game jams?
As you can surmise from the domain, this is created by Mr Doob. They're most well known for creating the 3D JavaScript library Three.js: https://threejs.org
Their full site and a lot more cool stuff they've made can be found here: https://mrdoob.com
Or, best known to others as being the guy that made Gravity Google way back when.

There are a lot of opposition-worthy linguistic acrobatics within that space, but default they/them is none of them.
It works perfectly. It is inoffensive, a drop-in-replacement, doesn't elongate sentences or any other such negative side effects.
It's real known words not just freshly invented. And it's even semantically correct.
The they/them swap is the most elegant implementation I am aware of.

Far from it, it only creates confusion and injects ideologically charged "pronoun language" into the discussion. If you feel the need to make clear that yes, the person you're talking about can be a man as well as a woman - something which most people realise and the ones who don't won't anyway no matter which words you use - use something like s/he or "he or she". The first form is just as short, is not ideologically charged and does not create ambiguity.
"They" is plural AND singular. Obviously it creates confusion.
> In Italian, if your masculine, it's non-binario, and if you're feminine, it's non-binaria.
Haha what the fuck. Who implemented that oh my god.
Genuine question though. That cannot be grassroots, can it? Because it completely defeats the purpose of that. Did this just come up because someone _had_ to translate the english culture war during news reporting?
His brand is literally "Mr Doob"
The consensus in English-writing guides like the APA or Elements of Style is about staying true to a person's self-identified pronoun while preferring specificity over ambiguity. In a case where you don't know - "they" is perfectly acceptable. In a case where "they" is an explicit self-identity - it's the only correct option. In this case, where he literally calls himself "Mr", it's stylistically incorrect to choose a more ambiguous pronoun where "he" is the correct one for someone calling themselves "mr"
You're making a straw-man argument with "anything exposing gender metadata". It's not like I dug up some obscure article - it's literally his chosen brand name. There's nothing arbitrary to use "he" for somebody who calls himself "mr".
Is it possible that you have a good point about inclusive writing in general, but you just happened to hop on the wrong case to make your stand, didn't realize that we're talking about an explicit "mr"?
It won’t mind.
Useful!

Awesome! Not only that one can build this in JavaScript, but also that your browser on a mobile phone can render this.
Definitely kept me on the page, very cool.
If it could move with a mobile device’s gyroscope, that would be quite the amuse-esprit.
Thta is oddly satisfying

Love it, but I want to tear it in half!
Really fun to play with. Great work!
When I grow up I want to be as intelligent and productive as Mr. Doob.
So squishy
Now i want those jelly candies in plastic blisters.
Classic web shit. Nice.

I guess, but this isn't just some claude-kiddie, he's the creator of Three.js. it's like slamming Linus for using AI on the Linux kernel. He knows what he's doing.
I thought so too, but AI is kinda destroying everything fun. Game jams, Advent of code, codevember apparently. To me personally it's super sad to see.
i don't know, i vibe code a lot but could never come up with that. To me, it is pretty much human creativity.
