Where I'm from, having a temper tantrum on a mailing list because you're not getting your way is what makes you the snowflake. If you don't want to follow the code of conduct, you can submit your patch to a kernel without one.
- coldtea 3y agoYes, that's the new mindset, about "codes of conduct" and such. It's what happens after a project has been bookstrapped, succesful, and established, and the later process-focused/bureucracy/ass-saving/touchy-feely minded people come in. For Linux that was 15+ years after it started, did fine, and conquered the world, without needing one.
- cwillu 3y agoWorth noting that it also worked fine in this instance, the two parties that were in conflict worked things out and found a better solution, and the snowflake who brought up the code-of-conduct was treated as network damage and routed around. It's vital to pay attention to the sheer volume of comments being made that all needed to be substantively responded to by one developer. The sense I get is very much that the appropriate attitude is: don't join the dog-pile if you don't want to be snapped at.
