I can imagine codes of conduct are helping somebody and I wouldn't want to spoil their good times but I'm still a little salty that sqlite was forced to change their terms, based loosely on the Benedictine Order Code, so they could have corporate sponsors. My intuition suggests a large and random set of assholes has been replaced by a specific and goal-oriented set of assholes.

I'll admit, the internet is everywhere, so every asshole is on the internet. I just remember before the Code of Conduct, there was definitely one less potential layer of assholes above, despite an ever present layer of assholes below, and there seemed to be more crazy and less conformist people.

Would write more but I need to go yell at a cloud.

The thing is that most people never ever have to deal with codes of conduct because, as it turns out, treating other with respect, really isn’t a difficult thing to do.
