Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.

I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

    I have to reply to say thank you for this post. It made me laugh quite awhile, not just because it's funny (it is funny to me at least), or true, but because of how you wrote it.

    Thanks again.

    Really?

    I thought it was the biggest whiny snowflake post in the entire discussion.
    A bunch of projection, grievance and smugness all wrapped up into one completely non-self-aware diatribe.

    The problem is so many people have too high thoughts about their technical abilities. And will try to shoot the messenger and regulate them.... The only thing that works with nature is experience and intelligence but nature is still circumstantial and consequential without exception. So people still need to be humble at take their mistakes as a learning experience not an offense. Talent is not evenly distributed, it's just life. No exempts for busy people or snowflaking.

    All these SJW, codes and HR departments just complicates direct and efficient communication. Something that can't sustain itself but like a parasite attaches to any large organization. It becomes like a smiling theater that has no substance.
