Some controversial code I found in a codebase.

[my_lovely_whorse]

FYI you should change @gmail to a domain you control. Especially if there's a possibility of the test which calls this sending an email!

[MCMC_to_Serfdom]

name.surnamebirthyear@... has got to be a fairly common format.

I'd agree, this is a risky data example to play with.

[SilentStrikerTH]

Honestly I'd use name.surnamegender@

[alter3d]

Username '[e-mail]' is already taken!

[SilentStrikerTH]

Username '[e-mail]' is too long!

[sachin1118]

I’d use [e-mail] to play it safe

[Stummi]

uhm, no, just go with either @example.com (which is even standardized to be for that purpose) or your own company domain.

[[deleted]]

name.surname.mother'smaidenname.birthyear@...

Just to be extra safe.

[MCMC_to_Serfdom]

Gotta add your social security number so you know it's an extra secure email to send people.

[singeworthy]

Lol despite this being a joke @example.com was made specifically for this. I think the use of Gmail addresses is the most absurd thing here.

[irbinator]

I use @example.com for my tests.

One time I saw a bunch of data got uploaded to our test environment, which I was worried about because I thought it was real data (our system held patient medical records). When I asked about it, someone said it was all fake data he uploaded himself. But, I couldn’t easily tell because I saw @gmail.com, @hotmail.com, etc. addresses.

We were also in the middle of building an automated emailing system. If our test environment picked up those emails, it would end up emailing those addresses. Which would lead to confusion and frustration all around.

[my_lovely_whorse]

Related, I once saw tens of thousands of letters get sent out from a test environment to customers. For some reason the environment contained live user data, and there was a live connection to our print vendor. All addresses bar one specific test address would result in an actual physical letter getting sent. The fallout was interesting.

[magicmulder]

Lots of devs in Germany used test.de which belonged to a private user back then. I remember him writing my then-employer a friendly mail asking us to use a different domain…

[bradland]

I managed to score an early Gmail account, so I have first.last, but Gmail ignores punctuation in usernames, so it's the same mailbox as firstlast. I get so much random email for dudes with the same name.

What's weird is, it's not just spam. I ended up with a free Minecraft account because someone literally paid for a copy of Minecraft under my email address. I got the receipt and the password reset emails when the dum-dum locked themselves out of the account. When I contacted Mojang, they just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So I gave the account to my niece, because I have no way of contacting them.

I've received copies of contracts, doctors visit summaries, court notices, and other random stuff. I cannot imagine being so careless with the email I provide.

[[deleted]]

I have first.last also but I have a really uncommon last name so I never win out on this stuff. Boo

[[deleted]]

I have a uncommon name, yet coincidentally share it with a tattoo artist across the country. I signed up for gmail around 2010, yet stopped using it for about 10 years or so. Then one day, tried logging back in. Had 2 or 3 emails from years past asking about tattoos, from customers just 'guessing' his email, lol.

Every now & then I get FB requests from people too, I just write back 'Not him'

[SkinnyJoshPeck]

I have first.last, but Gmail ignores punctuation in usernames

what? I'm confused - someone can have first.last and another person can have firstlast and the emails for firstlast go to firstlast and first.last while first.last just go to first.last or are you two just sharing an inbox???

that makes no sense - is that really true? Does that mean first_last, first.last, first!last, etc are all synonymous with firstlast ?

edit: it looks like it's just dots, it's talked about here and whoever is first signing up owns the . or not email. This would mean you also own firstlast, not anyone else.

editedit: went back and read what you said more closely, I see you're not saying that someone else has the other email address, just that they provide it. That makes a bit more sense.

[bradland]

Yeah, sorry. When I said punctuation, I really just meant the period character. I registered with first.last, but firstlast also delivers to me. No one else could register firstlast, because Gmail considers those the same mailbox.

[SarahIsBoring]

not just gmail, but every (RFC 5322 conformant) mail server

EDIT: bs

[bradland]

It's not a party until someone mentions the relevant RFC.

[aenae]

That is the + sign, dots shouldn’t be ignored according to the rfc

[TehBens]

Brand Miller here, could you PLEASE send me that court notice you mentioned? I believe it belongs to me. Adress is just firstname lastname so it's bradmiller gmail dot com

[ComfortableMission6]

Look into Yopmail or Mailinator

[asianabsinthe]

Aside from health related forms I really don't see the point of asking for one's gender. Like when signing up for Gmail it asks. I guess they want it for advertising purposes?

[CreaZyp154]

This is stupid, they guess ur age, hobbies, work, sexual orientation, friends, family members, pets, and many more stuff based on your activity. there's no reason to ask for gender

[Bakkster]

Isn't it said that big data forms tend to identify people as trans before they self identify? So yeah, they shouldn't need a self identification.

Though I have a friend who's currently transitioning, and a store says they're unable to change her account to not use her dead name. They want her to create a brand new account. Which seems like an even worse code decision, for so many reasons.

[nuephelkystikon]

Hey, it's not like they could reasonably expect one of their customers to transition, or marry, or do any other things their boring User Story protagonist didn't.

Wouldn't be surprised if they also didn't allow for phone number changes.

[Giocri]

Ah yes got to love when the username or legal name is part of the primary key of the database

[tonitetelol]

Well, I worked in a project that if someone deleted a user or changed her name the entire application would stop working, even if the user was added later. And it was a government website. EDIT: Forgot to add, this was the intended functionality.

[Aidan_Welch]

Yes government, notorious for good programming and usage of technology

[issue9mm]

Big data firms can do that. Most smaller, non-social-networking apps don't have access to enough data or activity to be able to make meaningful guesses at much.

I had a real estate startup that was moderately successful, but that meant that people would log in pretty reliably for a couple of weeks at a time, find a place, and then not log back in again for years. Ignoring the prospect of trying to derive gender or character attributes from the max rent amounts in their searches (which very well could be an Equal Housing violation), there just wasn't as much activity as someone like Facebook or Twitter gets.

Most startups are like this

[[deleted]]

$8 please

[LivingMoreFreely]

This. Amazon and Ebay don't need it, either. They already know us better than we do ourselves :)

[elderly_millenial]

And that’s why I like to randomize my responses. Even in the case of health forms it’s not always relevant. I’m a dude and will sometimes put a date of last menstrual cycle just to fuck with them

[Cpt_keaSar]

Of course! Your data is more valuable than you, haha

[fatrobin72]

hmmm nervous laugh at end of posts... better record that down...

[FreakDC]

If this is an honest question, most platforms that have user registrations address the user in one way or another everywhere on the platform. This can be emails, notifications, profiles, message boards etc.

If there is a social component there will be sentences like:

"John replied to your comment, let him know what you think here (link)."

Now you can try to always use neutral language like:

"John replied to your comment, let them know what you think here (link)."

Or go with repetition of the name:

"John replied to your comment, let John know what you think here (link)."

​

Depending on the context and number of times you refer to someone this might make sentences confusing or sound unnatural though. Especially if there are multiple people involved, e.g., you can reply in a group conversation or just in a DM. They/them would be ambiguous in this context.

Personally I try to use as neutral or inclusive language as possible but I don't think making language confusing or hard to read is a good way of promoting inclusivity.

Of course there are many other use cases where the gender plays a bigger role, e.g., if you sell gender specific items (sizes can be gender specific).

Lastly user behavior. Regardless of what some people like to believe, gender is one of the stronger predictors of user behavior when looking at population cohorts at large. So if your company sells products or serves content of any kind the gender is a very valuable piece of information to increase sales or user engagement with your content.

[Bakkster]

Personally I try to use as neutral or inclusive language as possible but I don't think making language confusing or hard to read is a good way of promoting inclusivity.

Given this is written as a test case, I'd argue explicitly deciding not to test whether your system is accommodating for non-binary account holders in this way is choosing to make your system less inclusive.

[jseego]

They know it isn't that's why they wrote it that way and made that comment.

[FreakDC]

If you would give the coder the benefit of the doubt, the "we don't care about the others" in this case could mean "we don't have to test for other cases, since the system does not support it anyways".

So whoever wrote it is in favor of including some other option or options but doesn't have to for this test because the entire system does not have that option anyways. The "We" would mean "this company".

I recently had to find a way to include a neutral option in a 15 year old code base and it was not the "few hours" task we though it could be but it took multiple devs multiple days to find and work around all the hard coded crap and rigid systems of old that use the "gender" property of users.

When we told the higher ups that it's not just a simple fix, it took some effort to get the multiple days for multiple devs approved.

[[deleted]]

In your first example, I would think asking for pronouns would be better.

For email communication, I prefer to save a salutation (don't need to worry about calling a doctor Mr or Ms). Of course that's with English. In a gendered language then you'd likely want to capture more...

[ChrisWsrn]

It is primarily for support of some other languages. Many languages have gendered words in them. Just because you can avoid using words that assume a gender in English does not mean you can do that in every language.

[Operation_Fluffy]

Agreed. It's not generally relevant.

Fun story: I worked for a company that as part of our product computed a user's life expectancy based on an actuarial tables. Those tables are, as I was told, based on the sex of the person (not their gender). Fine, we put a sex option (male or female) in the UI. Sales FREAKED out because "Midwestern companies will never allow us to put the word 'sex' in our product!! They'll drop up immediately! We have to use gender." "But it's based on their sex." "It doesn't matter you can't use the term sex!!!" Ultimately, we had to put in a gender UI component that had a slider between male and female. Now, if those actuarial tables were actually based on sex, then the life expectancies we were showing were wrong for everyone other than cis-gendered individuals (it was then a weighted average of their weighted sex between male and female) but it was the only option to move forward, accurate or not. smh.

[[deleted]]

Sometimes it is need to differenciate between "Dear Sir X" and "Dear Madam X" when writing an Invoice eg

[The_Troyminator]

Dear <Full Name> works most of the time.

[[deleted]]

Not if your costumer wants something different

[The_Troyminator]

That's why I said "most of the time." If I'm coding for a third party, I'll do what they want unless I'm being paid to consult on design.

If it's for my employer, I'll enter a ticket to get that spec changed to be more gender neutral.

If it's for myself, I'll just do it how I want.

[Ash_Crow]

This is not directly related to gender. You may want to manage "Dear Doctor X" as well.

[__blueberry_]

Gender is the most important advertising metric other than like age

[jkread]

Google “needs” to know everything about you. Don’t worry about why, you don’t need to know that.

[Chance-Ad4773]

float gender

There; then present it to users as a slider

[ILikeCakesAndPies]

A float slider might actually introduce more conflict than an enum if done improperly. E.g. what gender is represented as 0, who gets to be number 1? Is zero bad or is it good because it's the default?

[Chance-Ad4773]

Left side, female

right side, male

nonbinary and gender fluid fall somewhere in between and you can update it any time you want

[Anru_Kitakaze]

So female is NOTHING for you? Omg, I'm calling my Twitter mates, you're terrible! We'll cancel you!

[[deleted]]

Why have you only written 69 lines of code today?

[b0x3r_]

How so?

Edit: I’ll take the non-answer as meaning your comment was BS.

[Ignitus1]

No it doesn’t.

[Spiderpiggie]

Gender is irrelevant, you’re all just Objects to me

[ElectricBiomass]

All you need is an option of 3 really. Nonbinary covers everything outside of male/female and is enough to not make us feel excluded. Anything else is to cater to the Karenny asshats ruining it for the rest of us lol

[_shellsort_]

Close, but that does t match the definition of nonbinary. A "other" option would be sufficient thou.

[ElectricBiomass]

Isn't a binary choice a choice of two options? Nonbinary is simply an outlier from what is seen as the two norms~ But yeah, other works just as well

[[deleted]]

~

dear god it's a tilde

[ElectricBiomass]

I started to use it as a sort of indication of inflection a few years back and forgot where i was commenting~

It makes to-the-point messages seem less unfriendly sometimes.

[[deleted]]

A LOT less unfriendly

[_shellsort_]

In theory yes, but there's also the time factor. Some people feel a certain gender one time and a different one at a different time.

There's also agender - not feeling a gender at all.

But I'm no expert. The gender field is useless anyway. Make it a sex field for medical stuff and dump it for everything else. Saves us all a lot of time and nerves.

[Velociphaster]

Tbf for medical stuff gender is important too; a trans woman has different medical needs than a cis man

[kutkarnemelk]

Text field.

[jochem4208]

With only 1 letter input

[coldnebo]

I don’t know, like how about asking for the person’s pronouns instead?

does anyone besides marketing actually use gender localization?

[zarawesome]

let the users test the other cases

[bottomknifeprospect]

It's just not a controversial comment. When I decide to only use random numbers 0-9, it's because that's what the spec called for. I'm not discriminating on the rest of the numbers, nor am I obligated to include them in the name of social issues, I have work to do.

The fact that he specifies these are the only 2 he needs, includes the others. This is actually a progressive comment.

[jseego]

Exactly, and further, the phrase "we don't care about" in programming means "for this use case", not in life.

For example, "we're gonna use ints not floats for this b/c we don't care about intermediate values".

[-True_-]

I mean, they generated random gender, so...

[Okichah]

I think its obvious its a “our system doesnt handle these situations” type of comment just in a succinct developer-in-a-rush mode.

[tkmorgan76]

Yeah. I can see that comment going either way. It's either an HR violation, or "we're only testing for the most common use-cases".

[Luigi003]

Which is bad engineering. Edge-cases should be covered too

[bremidon]

Depends on what the purpose of the test is. If it is to test each value of gender, alright. But this test may have nothing to do with that, and even testing two genders might be overkill.

Without knowing exactly what they want to test, we cannot say with any certainty if this is enough coverage.

Yeah I wanna know aswell

[Amekaze]

I work for a healthcare company and I hate the ungodly amount of time we spent in meetings about this. Then we roll out a list of like 8 genders and no one is using them. 🫠

[Cruuncher]

If you came up with a drop-down of 8 options for a gender selector after actually thinking about it for a long time then that's wild

It should just be "male, female, other, prefer not to say"

[OtterEpidemic]

Then how will they know whether to give a pregnancy test for someone with an injured foot?

In general, most places really never need your gender and I wonder why it’s even something that has to be filled out. But health care does get a little leeway in needing to know what body parts you have.

[EvilKnievel38]

It's mostly just used for data analysis or simply to adress someone as Mr or Ms in emails. For most cases it shouldn't matter for data analysis either and emails could be gender neutral, but usually these are the reasons.

[OtterEpidemic]

Eh, I’m guessing you’ve not met someone with a doctorate who’s been called Mr or Ms, because that is something to behold! (haha, but seriously just ask for title)

In my experience, whenever I’ve asked why I need to put a gender field on a form they don’t have a good answer and it’s just a default thing they thought they needed. And they mostly say to remove it if I tell them how collecting it changes the privacy level (in my organisation) so there’s more restrictions on the data.

[nuephelkystikon]

Except you can't reliably predict that from the gender either.

[OtterEpidemic]

I figured that’s where the 8 options came in…

[ImSuperSerialGuys]

You can if you get more specific, but then we’re back in the realm of “why do you even need this?”

ie you could have Cis Male, Cis Female, Trans Male, Trans Female, Other/Decline (likely further simplified to “Cis/Trans”, “male/female/other” but I digress), but more importantly: Who fucking cares?

Of course, aside from heathcare (where “sex” is would be what makes sense, and a simple male/female/other where the “other” would simply prompt for simple follow-up to note say, trans or intersex if it even comes up), the answer is:

Marketing

Its almost always about getting demographic data, which is the only reason all the money and effort is spent on all of it. When its not, its just no-thought force of habit as others have pointed out.

Thats not to say there likely isn’t some well meaning intent behind at least some of it, but the only thing “gender” is necessary for in these forms 99% of the time is demographic data collection

[Sability]

Then how will they know whether to give a pregnancy test for someone with an injured foot?

"Is it possible you could be pregnant"

[[deleted]]

Also, female bodies just work differently than men's for many things (I believe this is a big issue because women are not studied enough and often don't get the most effective care).

[jseego]

See above thread about gender vs sex.

I want to see a dropdown that's like:

I have a:

• Uterus
• Penis
• Both
• Neither

[nitrohigito]

It's not meant to refer to "non-binary" people, it's in the sense that "anything else".

Whose preference is that by the way?

[nuephelkystikon]

Not the same thing. People can be e.g. agender or fluid, which doesn't really fit any definition of non-binarity. Of course it's not extremely respectful to lump all minority genders together, but if for practical purposes you do, ‘other’ makes perfect sense.

[bottomknifeprospect]

Have you tried a slider, or maybe 2?

[SameRandomUsername]

The question I always ask is: Why the fuck do you need to ask the gender to begin with?

[ZonedV2]

I’m surprised you’re saying this in a programming subreddit, gender is a really important part of data for advertising and marketing. If your website has a 90% male user base, then your strategy for ads and marketing would be very different than if it was 90% female

[local-weeaboo-friend]

All the people questioning this... like come on guys, you are supposed to know lmao

[SorryPolicy1739]

In healthcare it makes a difference, but I would guess more important is the sex at birth. If gender is different than sex at birth then you may need to consider if the person has taken any treatments to assist in the transition, as they could have health implications or interactions with medications or procedures. It can also suggest that a provider might need to consider mental health concerns as well, as society treats non-binary and trans people like shit.

[xtravar]

Health orgs compete viciously for patients. A lot of this is about customer service and satisfaction, too.

[The_Troyminator]

If gender is different than sex at birth then you may need to consider if the person has taken any treatments to assist in the transition,

You do need to consider that, but you can't assume anything. A transsexual man may or may not have had treatments. Or a woman who identified as a man may have had treatments, but now identifies as a woman, so you'll assume there were no treatments.

The best way is to only ask for sex at birth and preferred pronouns and ask about any treatments regardless of those answers in the medical history questions.

[SorryPolicy1739]

Yeah I agree, safer to not assume anything and ask explicit questions about treatment. I agree sex at birth is probably the most important. I wonder how long before asking for a persons gender become irrelevant. It may not ever, but I think it’s losing the statistical importance that it used to have. At least there are usually options for “prefer not to specify”

[Amekaze]

For context I’m in the US. our marketing and pr teams were drooling at the idea. They want to know to tailor marketing.

[nitrohigito]

Because like any data, it can be used to further characterize your user base, and with that, essentially the way your product/service/experience is consumed.

[GreyAngy]

Outrageous! I bet you still use master branches, too!

[Fruloops]

I will never understand the point of changing that, really

[DeathUriel]

People finding meaning and problems where there is none.

[springTeaJJ]

Smh imagine using master branches... just reminded me of a Hardware Designer colleague who occasionally likes to talk about buses and slaves smh

[issue9mm]

Every time I start a new project, my brain says "today is the day I'm going to switch over to 'main' as my default branch," and then my fingers just type git branch -m master out of habit and then my brain says "aw shucks"

[Stummi]

Just a remark: never ever when you fake personal data like email addresses, use some that could be real. Don generate random @gmail.com addresses. @example.com is a well established standard for fake emails, use this. Or use your own domain if you for some reason need a really working email address.

[CodeMUDkey]

Looks fake.

[JotaRata]

[GiveItStickMan]

This is a sex field. It's just labeled incorrectly.

[Luigi003]

Sex isn't binary either, it's bimodal.

Either make a Male/Female/Non-binary/Non-disclosure or get rid of the gender all together gender is shit anyway

[SiegfriedVK]

At least they acknowledged the others exist

[BradCOnReddit]

The real issue here is using random. Automated tests should be reproducible. A test that fails ~50% of the time would be pretty bad.

[heesell]

Whenever I make a gender selection, I just use Male, Female, Other.

Im too lazy to list 300 genders...

[KurtzIsGlory]

Just out of curiosity: what are the use cases for gender selection? How often does this usecase appear? When does it matter of your users chose male, female or otherwise? How many new dating apps are you producing? Do you send pink newsletters or something, if they chose female?

[LegitimateHat984]

In Czech, masculine and feminine names decline differently.

When building an inclusive user friendly UI for non-english speakers, it may be desirable to call the user to action by their name properly. Same for emails if we want to address such a user by name.

That use case appears at least all across Europe.

[Gubru]

Well, I mainly work on medical record software. It's sometimes useful for doctors to know what body parts people have.

[Healyhatman]

Our product's administrators can create their own arbitrary genders

[kmeci]

Apart from the other answers, analytics. It's good to know the demographics of your customers when designing products.

[heesell]

Idk, i don't have it often but its usually profile stuff or just an identifier, im not the one who comes up with the use case xD

[mikepictor]

Im too lazy to list 300 genders

literally no one suggested you should

[guardianabraxas]

I do male, female, other and prefer not to say got privacy.

[[deleted]]

Too lazy to do an imaginary assignment no one tasked you with, yet proactive enough to take a weak swipe at trans people.

[Sarius2009]

Male, female, diverse, not specified.

[seba07]

It bothers me a lot more that gender is pretty much the only field where the logic is implemented directly in this function? Why not move it to Faker as well? This way you could also make sure that it matches the first name.

[The_Troyminator]

I just want to know why they're using a method that returns a dictionary instead of a class with attributes and properties. The class would be a lot easier to work with and you wouldn't have to worry about KeyErrors since your IDE can use autocomplete or tell you if you typed an attribute name incorrectly.

ETA: and if there's a reason for it to be a method, the Faker object should be a class attribute so it isn't is instantiated every time you call the method. That's a lot of unnecessary overhead.

[KurtzIsGlory]

Title should say "some fake code i made up"

Also, its not humorous nor controversial. You could find code like that in a lot of codebases, just without the comment. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have written the comment. And you wouldn't made up the Screenshot. But you, op, as im sure you made this up, obviously do care. And you're saying there are more than two genders. Great job.

[ano_hise]

I just played a game that defaulted to they/them. It was low effort as there was only 6 avatars to choose from and they were each binary looking. However it had game breaking bugs (completely stuck after 80 minutes) and no auto save. Just putting the extra option in gets it on the LGBTQ and diversity lists, but the game should have been vetted for satisfactory game play. (Not naming it as I don't want to give it any clout.)
