If your build culture doesn’t welcome others,
you’re not building community. You’re shipping into a vacuum.
Better tools come from better feedback.
Better feedback comes from more voices.
And more voices only show up when the space feels real, not just branded.
🧠 What To Do
Audit your docs, posts, and READMEs — drop gendered, ableist, or exclusionary language
Link out to one project by a builder from an underrepresented group
Don’t posture. Just be clear about the values behind what you ship
Inclusion isn’t a toggle. It’s how your stack listens back.
✏️ Builder Challenge
Take one old post — a devlog, thread, or blog
Rewrite it with inclusive tone, clearer context, and zero assumptions
Then shout out one overlooked dev tool this week. Bonus if it’s built by someone outside your usual orbit

🛠 Want a second set of eyes?
Reply with your revised post or link drop — we’ll amplify a few that resonate.
Inclusive tools scale. Exclusive ones stall.
Build for everyone. Or build alone.
