You HAVE to be joking. One would think that java programming would still
be untainted by such rubbish as rampant idiotic political correctness, but
apparently not!
IDEA is not a tool for dyslexics. There, happy? They're discriminated
against because they're unable to spell, just like in high school! IDEA
also is cruel to blind people, as well as those with seeing difficulties
(note the complete lack of accessebility support, those bastards)
If a dyslexic is unable to write good code, then YES, I'm ALL for not
letting them program. Developers exists in a meritocracy, nobody cares if
you're white, black, deaf, dumb, paralised, dyslexic, or socially
disfunctional. UNLESS it affects the quality of your code in a negative
manner, then you'll be branded as 'inferior' in terms of your coding
ability. The dyslexia (or whatever) you choose to wear as a badge of
honour won't help one whit.
Here's a suggestion for dyslextics, idiots, and anyone who can't spell to
save their lives...write your docs in Word, then paste them in.
