I hope this content is okay for /v/programming. I heard about it from someone and thought it was a really good idea for open source projects. I have nothing to do with this, all credits to domgetter
Q: Your name is offensive. CoC sounds like Cock, and I feel that this is a group of white males that is trying to downplay the seriousness of this issue in our community, and I boycott your movement, and am going to tell others to as well!
I'll agree that I don't see why there needs to be a code of conduct. Why can't open source contributors just agree to be 100% professional in interactions unless you know them personally?
That's very true. It's more about how they act around everyone else, like causing drama in the community and distracting from actually coding. I'm with you for the most part, as long as someone can code great I don't really care, but I personally don't want to deal with drama in the community
While the linux community for example may not be warm and helpful
Ya, this is the point at which they lose me. If you don't try to help people use your software, you're a shitty developer. It's one of my big problems with the Linux community, although things have improved a lot in the past few years.
I too, would disagree. If I, as a developer have choose to spend my valuable time writing a piece of software, and I decide to open source it, I do not see why I should have to support it. If I am charging for the software, there could be some expectation of support, but for a project I am creating effectively as a volunteer, I do not see why anyone should feel entitled to my support, beyond what I choose to provide. I for one would tend to say that if you have an issue with that, don't use my software.

I categorize this under "educational". Done. That was easy. As long these kind of submissions don't get too much, it's fine.

This is wonderful.

Without a code of conduct does this mean I can belittle people all I want?

SJWs can get fucked. "Code of conduct" of any sort, including this, is apologist bullshit to be ignored.

Why should they? The programmer could be a juvenile chicken fucker, but computers run the code just the same.
