As a Recurse Center participant and alum, these rules form an important and largely silent backbone of the community's culture.

Often reading rules causes strong reactions. Seeing how those same rules are implemented makes all the difference.

Rather than discussing the rules, I'll share experiential evidence: the community is welcoming to beginners, gentle, curious, kind, playful, and above all else: supportive.

The rules are a helpful "buck" to stop at should mistakes or conflict - small or large - arise (which rarely occurs). The key is commentary and forgiveness.

The experience of attending a batch at recurse is largely regarded as their best for many of my fellow Recursers - it certainly is one of mine.

If you're curious please reach out to them. I'm also happy to chat or answer any questions (and give a glowing review).
