Mockery and derision. Anyone who needs a document to understand what is acceptable and what isn't is not someone who you want in any project.

Mockery and derision.
Anyone who needs a document to understand what is acceptable and what isn't is not someone who you want in any project.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoWe were all young and ignorant once. My journey to community projects started at 17, and the forum rules common in that era did help me grow up a bit. Even if I was sometimes a nuisance. Answering reasonable requests for clarity in a community with mockery and derision doesn't sound like a very welcoming place.
- thrown_22 4y agoIt doesn't. Which is why it gave us Linux.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoWait, what gave us Linux? An unwelcoming culture of mockery and derision?! If so I'd argue Linux succeeded in spite of Linus's prickly personality. Certainly not because of it.
- thrown_22 4y agoThere are a dozen open source kernels yet only one succeeded. It was absolutely Linus's no bullshit policy that made it a success and a target.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoPlenty of projects are run by assholes. Finding one that is successful and attributing that success to abrasive communication style is confirmation bias. Even Linus has said his past behavior has been a problem.
- thrown_22 4y agoIf you don't like it fork and run it better. You, and everyone who thinks code of conducts are good, can't because you're too incompetent to.
