The fact that repositories even have "codes of conduct" is Orwellian on one hand and a sign of idiocracy on the other.

A path "Anathem" did not explore.What would millenarians do with a software project?
Of course not. That would be strictly something for the Ita to deal with. :D
You can do a lot in a thousand years if you put your mind to it.
It'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.

Free will
42. Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself. 59. Fulfill not the desires of the flesh; hate your own will. 60. Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do." I'm not seeing a lot of room for free will in this document.
This 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 jun…
>When I see a code of ethics bound to faith, I have to wonder what happens if the faith disappears. Let's do the math: Christianity has been around for around two orders of magnitude longer than any of the compilers or dev tools you're using on your project. There are probably three orders of magnitude more people who use Christianity than are using any of the languages used in your project. There are probably six or…
People don't tell you they lost their faith. They just stop following their code of ethics that was bound to it.
I trust a faceless corporation over this attitude.

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.
So... what is SQLite's stance on abortion? [Edit] Found it: it's supported: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3912417/is-there-a-way-t...
seeing as some people have already added some comments criticizing the code of conduct, I thought I'd add what I think is the most important parts of that code of Ethics : > No one is required to follow The Rule [...] or even think that [it] is a good idea. [...] anyone is free to dispute or ignore that idea [...] > This is a one-way promise [...]. the developers are saying "we will treat you this way regardless of h…
Except for all the current developers which makes it seem like Christianity is a prerequisite for getting hired or contributing. I get frustrated at the SJW CoCs but this is arguably just as bad or worse.
...how could one possibly get this impression, when it literally says "No one is required to follow The Rule"?
