That "anti-COC" article is as anti-COC as James Damore's memo was anti-diversity. What it does is highlight how speech codes can be used by the socially hyperfluent to bully and dominate the less fluent, by placing an unreasonable burden on a speaker to have 100% prediction accuracy of every potential negative response. http://quillette.com/2017/07/18/neurodiversity-case-free-spe... That SJWs call it a strawman is ju…
James Damore's memo was anti-diversity.
Maybe under diversity's new Orwellian definition

#133I have yet to find any good reason for this fork, but I wish the forkers all the best. If they can actually make something better, I'm sure we'll switch. Until then I see no reason to not support Node.

#135The previous fork was successful because a lot of the developers went with the fork and it was fulfilling an unserviced need in the community for a node built on newer versions of v8. Does anyone know if this fork has much of a chance of survival?
I'd be surprised if it survives into 2018 as anything more than "we copy commits from upstream and consider ourselves a different project".

#136First: I like the name! That said, it is a bit unfortunate to fork or at least to try to fork a project like Node.js over these reasons. Although it is quite likely that the fork was mainly created to pressure the Node-devs to remove rvagg from the project after all. What puzzles me: Even if we agree that rvagg violated the Code of Conduct, I am not sure that this should be enough to remove him from the TSC (Technica…
"Rod should have predicted the kind of response this tweet received" I was on the fence until I hit that part. The tacit admission that they're holding him responsible for what other people are saying on Twitter is all I need to know. They wanna feel like righteous warriors defeating evil.
Heads I win, tails you lose situation. If you say something uncivil, you are guilty. If you are perfectly reasonable and somebody trolls and curses you out on twitter, you are still guilty, because you "should have predicted" they'd do that if you disagree with them.

That's why I think entering development should be harder. This "everyone can code" trend only resulted in worse job candidates and a lot of people doing politics instead of coding.
I think that is wrong way to think about it. If, say, we do enforce some "barrier to entry", it would probably be some education and certification to be eligible for software development. The SJWs will make sure that they will be prioritized to be eligible for those certificates, even if it means to change the eligibility criteria to do so. And then they can basically use it to kick everyone out of software developme…
I enforce a "barrier to entry" myself when I interview someone though.
If they're less than highly competent, I don't allow them to join the company I'm interviewing for.
Others have this mentality of "letting everyone in, we'll train them later", especially if doing so serves other (non-technical) political or social agendas.

#139Would you rather use good code by a shitty person or shitty code by a good person?
If reiserfs was the best fs around, you bet I'd still be using it.

I've faced this exact scenario a few months back when I asked some questions on Preact's Gitter. Pathetic. English is not even my first language, I swear I didn't know I'd be offending someone by saying "hey guys" :/
It seems that as much as Silicon Valley preaches about being inclusive, they have a strict american-centric view of absolutely everything. I'm also not a native english speaker and it feels like I'm walking on eggshells constantly.
This. A million times.
