#22So... what is SQLite's stance on abortion? [Edit] Found it: it's supported: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3912417/is-there-a-way-t...
SQLite: "When my mother was abducted by the Communists, she was with child.... but the Communists, they put an end to that! So, on this issue there is no debate! And no intelligent person can think differently."

#24I'm not religious but I've always liked this; it's fun to think of the SQLite developers as a small monastery. If monasteries can produce beer for the world (see: the Trappists), why not software?

Re: The SQLite Code of Ethics
#26It's breeze of fresh air compared to most code of conducts which sound like communist propaganda. This and the Linux code of conflict.
I'm not sure what you think communism is, but:
2. Then, love your neighbor as yourself.
5. Do not steal.
6. Do not covet.
14. Relieve the poor.
15. Clothe the naked.
18. Be a help in times of trouble.
38. Be not lazy.
Those are all pretty deeply in line with marxism. Jesus was a communist, after all.

#27Seems pretty self-important/pretentious. It's just a database, guys.
"This document continues to be used for its original purpose - providing a reference to fill in the "code of conduct" box on supplier registration forms."
I remember the code of conduct push overnight on all open source projects. It was such a bizarre time. What's worse is that pretty much everyone folded.

#28Hmm, is this some sort of Meta I’m missing? It feels strange to mix so many cultural ‘suggestions’ with a database product. > Listen willingly to holy reading. > Devote yourself frequently to prayer. > Daily in your prayers, with tears and sighs, confess your past sins to God, and amend them for the future. Anyway, sqlite is a good product and I don’t even mind all that much to have a code of Ethics associated to it,…
A Code of Conduct was forced on them by dictate, so they did the right thing and made the process transparently absurd while also complying.
Edit: The unspoken part of the demand was a 'progressive' CoC.
Re: The SQLite Code of Ethics
#29This scares me slightly. When I see a code of ethics bound to faith, I have to wonder what happens if the faith disappears. Experience says lots of people get hurt. I don't wish that on anyone.
Ethical stance must stand alone unconditionally.
As for the actual rules, picking one in particular, respecting someone purely for being senior is stupid. Respect is simply earned. I respect more people younger and in more junior positions than myself.

#30Lots of Christian theology can get bogged down in the Trinity, what the Holy Ghost part means, etc.
There are also much more basic sects where the theology of the Gospel is considerably easier to preach, and where in particular the idea of God simply being other people, and our love for each other is prevalent. It is surprising to see this kind of Christianity here, in a piece of software. Surprising and uplifting.
It is all quite an Anglican perspective. I feel sorry for people who don’t have better access to Anglican Communion / Episcopalianism. The more deeply theological sects don’t hold a candle to it.
