Programming has never been a hugbox and I hate anyone that tries to make it into one. Programming is essentially math, and math is brutal in its honesty. A solution works, or it doesn't. One algorithm is faster than another. One query uses less memory than another. There are objective ways to measure these things. We don't need people introducing any sort of "feeling" garbage into Computer Science.
Github lost all of my respect when they adopted that stupid policy. I'm on BitBucket now and IME so far it's got better tools and better rates anyway.

The only code i care about is run by CPUs. You'd have thought that political officers would have gone away with the Old Soviet Union.
