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!

Hey Sean,

Thanks for your post. I appreciate your efforts to make DEV an inclusive community!

I would prefer not to change my original post because "guys" is a term I frequently use in my day-to-day and has been for quite some time.

However, I can understand how "guys" isn't as inclusive of a term as some of the alternatives, so I will keep your advice in mind going forward when I write future blogs.

Thank you for your feedback!
