In case anyone's looking for that last sentence (quoting Kent here, not my words):
> Get your head examined. And get the fuck out of here with this shit.

- deepnet 2y agoCode communities are very democratic, they produce good code and good coders. Democracy is good governance not a dictatorship of a majority. A benevolent dictatorship is said to be a most efficient form of government, until it ushers in a non-benevolent dictatorship. Democracy is not perfect but relatively sustainable in that there is a peaceful mechanism for change and a means of consensus. Small communities don’t need too many rules but in time as they grow it becomes necessary.
