It doesn't. Which is why it gave us Linux.

  Wait, 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.

    There 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.

      Plenty 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.

        If 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.
