Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org)
Following Linus Torvalds' public apology for his behavior over the years, the Linux Community said it will be adopting a new "Code of Conduct", which pledges to make "participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation."
Hello circular firing squad.
I'm sure the "let's rewrite linux in rust"-crowd will get a lot more traction now.
If you can behave to the standards which would be required in literally any professional workplace in 2018, you don't need to be involved. If you can't do that, there are plenty of forums to write angry posts about SJWs while you wrote your own OS.
Your argument fails in the fact perhaps that guy with the man bun or a fedora and attended those code camps are actually a brilliant person who can really contribute.
Or you do want Linux coded by all guys with a short hair cut, suites, and has PHDs.
Coding is 25% intelligence and 75% effort. If someone is willing to do the effort then they should be able to contribute, if their code is crap, then don't put it in. As their current contribution didn't meet the standards needed for this deployment.
They should feel free to learn and try again, perhaps the next time they may have something brilliant.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
