How is it insensitive? In my country (Norway) there's advent calendars for everything and has been since I was a child. Home made advent calendars with a small gift each day, or store bought with a chocolate, beer, liquorice, or similar per day. There are special advent calendar TV shows, where an episode is released each day in December.
Advent is a season of the liturgical year observed in most Christian denominations as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming. Advent is the beginning of the liturgical year in Western Christianity, and is part of the wider Christmas and holiday season.
There's nothing insensitive about the word 'advent'. Additionally, you are free to start a Kwanzaa of Code or Diwali of Code or both and people are free to join.
I had to look up the etymology and it basically comes from Latin ad-venire or "to come".. so symbolizes merely the eventual arrival of something or prelude to something.
Exactly. That comment was a great example of outrage culture. Instead of stopping to think of what advent means or put in the effort to start a Kwanzaa of code, the other commenter instead chose to just complain and get upset over nothing
Unfortunately to some their idea of being inclusive means hating anything and everything about whatever culture is dominate. The destruction and elimination of that culture is their only acceptable path to diversity and inclusion.
Would this have been named 'Kwanzaa of code' or 'Diwali of code' or 'lesser eid of code'? Of course not
