It also an issue I have with Codes of Conduct. There was a person who posted to the LKML about his autism and concerns over unintentionally violating the CoC, and whether he should continue to contribute or not. I don't recall anyone replying to him and his concerns either.
Computing can possibly be considered a 'safe space' for people like the above but that has now been dismantled to suit other people. Who owns the safe spaces?
I'm not condoning people being assholes, BTW.
- dale_glass 6y agoOn LKML I'm not really seeing the difficulty. Just stick to the point: "Here's a patch that does X, Y, and Z". If having to criticize something do it on technical grounds: "This part here is wrong because it's possible to go past the end of the buffer in this case". I know that some people sometimes post colorful rants on there, but I don't think it adds anything good to the atmosphere, and any time spent on coming up with florid prose could be spent on code that actually does something useful instead.
