At a time of decaying social bonds, cultural fragmentation, and no consensus reality, i would much rather work somewhere with an explicit code like this than the countless "we are good people" places that will never define what "being good people" is until they are on the opposite side of a courtroom. Having shared values is very important for a team.

- duxup 4y agoI like the idea of such a code. But at the same time I see religions with that or similar codes and the folks following it seem just as interested in ignoring it or twisting it as a way to push on those not in their religion. Now I don’t think that’s the sql lite folks and plenty of folks don’t do that thing… but just a splash of religion doesn’t make me feel much better about anything.

Some of the items are easy (#3: Do not commit murder) while others are a life-long struggle (#32: Do not curse those who curse you, but rather bless them) requiring a daily renewal of purpose. And like any worthwhile daily rule of life it should be something which requires continual effort, something which can never be truly accomplished (which keep complacency at bay).
