SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org)
Having been encouraged by clients to adopt a written code of conduct, the SQLite developers elected to govern their interactions with each other, with their clients, and with the larger SQLite user community in accordance with the "instruments of good works" from chapter 4 of The Rule of St. Benedict. This code of conduct has proven its mettle in thousands of diverse communities for over 1,500 years, and has served as a baseline for many civil law codes since the time of Charlemagne.
Not everyone has found SQLite's attempt informative or funny (though many did). A developer wrote, for instance, "So is the SQLite CoC thing a joke or not? If it's not a joke, f*ck this. If it is a joke, that's even worse. Your CoC should be taken seriously." A security researcher, chimed in, "This sort of stunt will make actual code of conduct discussions harder. It's not funny, helpful, or wise."
People are objecting, but is it a bad code of conduct?
It requires celibacy, so is in effect a no-op.
SJWs cannot abide mockery because it is a threat to their own self anointed moral authority.
A religious war? In a tech community? Never heard of such a thing, which is why Captain Kirk using EMACS would be way better than Picard using VI!
Or is the complaint that the monks indented with tabs?
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
I mean Spock would use Vi, the guy goes around flashing V's with his hand for christ's sake.
Good job for SQLite! I like 19 (Console the sorrowing) the most. I also want to start a new project called "Sorrowing: The Console". It'd be like bash, but all the messages would be drenched in existential dread.
I specialize in automation. I do a lot of work trying to be lazy!
You do not have a moral or legal right to do absolutely anything you want.
No. Because you keep pissing off us white males who used to be supportive of you and all minorities to the point where, "FUCK YOU. YOU ARE MY ENEMY! I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL!" I make it my mission in life to have you put in a hole and lye dumped over your rotting corpse. The camps are coming. You thought the Nazi's were bad? You ain't seen shit. It's coming!
That is what happens to your fingers naturally after a lifetime of reaching for the Meta key in combination with other keystrokes.
He literally cannot put the fingers together anymore.

Ye shall erect these memos which I command thee upon mount cubicle

Why is it a joke? Why do other open source communities condone murder by not explicitly disallowing it in their CoCs?
Someone wants to work on ReiserFS?

Does the lightbulb consent to the change? HOW DO YOU KNOW IT IDENTIFIES AS A LIGHTBULB??!
Redundancy is good And also good.
