The CEO sent him a written apology. I wouldn't call that a puritanical company. All it takes is one person in the critical path to not like what you're doing, even if 99% of the rest don't give a shit, and that's a potential job off the table. You're proud of your work, that's great, but also doesn't change the fact that your work also puts you at risk of having your resume tossed for a dumb reason. |

Agreed, your resume could be tossed for anything. US has some protections for this. Other countries don't have this at all. You don't take a job with a porn company without realizing that. It definitely made hiring more difficult as well.
While working there, we lost access to our web analytics tool because they got bought by a Mormon company that booted us. Endless issues with credit card processors. We also had to host our own server hardware because at the time, porn wasn't allowed on many hosting services and/or we were fearful of being booted from other cloud providers.
That's also what attracted me to my current business venture, which is to provide decentralized cloud infrastructure services (aka: web3). It seems weird to think of that being decentralized, but if we don't know the specifics of what you're running on our hardware, there is nothing for us to turn off. Based on my history, I see a lot of value in that.
