8 We want to work in an ecosystem that empowers developers to reach their
|
|
Chris@0
|
9 potential — one that encourages growth and effective collaboration. A space that
|
|
Chris@0
|
10 is safe for all.
|
|
Chris@0
|
11
|
|
Chris@0
|
12 A space such as this benefits everyone that participates in it. It encourages
|
|
Chris@0
|
13 new developers to enter our field. It is through discussion and collaboration
|
|
Chris@0
|
14 that we grow, and through growth that we improve.
|
|

|

|
16 In the effort to create such a place, we hold to these values:
|
|
Chris@0
|
17
|
|
Chris@0
|
18 1. **Discrimination limits us.** This includes discrimination on the basis of
|
|
Chris@0
|
19 race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, technology
|
|
Chris@0
|
20 and any other arbitrary exclusion of a group of people.
|
|
Chris@0
|
21 2. **Boundaries honor us.** Your comfort levels are not everyone’s comfort
|
|
Chris@0
|
22 levels. Remember that, and if brought to your attention, heed it.
|
|
Chris@0
|
23 3. **We are our biggest assets.** None of us were born masters of our trade.
|
|
Chris@0
|
24 Each of us has been helped along the way. Return that favor, when and where
|
|
Chris@0
|
25 you can.
|
|
Chris@0
|
26 4. **We are resources for the future.** As an extension of #3, share what you
|
|
Chris@0
|
27 know. Make yourself a resource to help those that come after you.
|
|
Chris@0
|
28 5. **Respect defines us.** Treat others as you wish to be treated. Make your
|
|
Chris@0
|
29 discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask
|
|
Chris@0
|
30 yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive? Anything less is
|
|
Chris@0
|
31 unacceptable.
|
|
Chris@0
|
32 6. **Reactions require grace.** Angry responses are valid, but abusive language
|
|
Chris@0
|
33 and vindictive actions are toxic. When something happens that offends you,
|
|
Chris@0
|
34 handle it assertively, but be respectful. Escalate reasonably, and try to
|
|
Chris@0
|
35 allow the offender an opportunity to explain themselves, and possibly correct
|
|
Chris@0
|
36 the issue.
|
|
Chris@0
|
37 7. **Opinions are just that: opinions.** Each and every one of us, due to our
|
|
Chris@0
|
38 background and upbringing, have varying opinions. The fact of the matter, is
|
|
Chris@0
|
39 that is perfectly acceptable. Remember this: if you respect your own
|
|
Chris@0
|
40 opinions, you should respect the opinions of others.
|
|
Chris@0
|
41 8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and
|
|
Chris@0
|
42 contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't hesitate
|
|
Chris@0
|
43 to apologize if you make one yourself.
