This applies to all spaces: code repositories, issues, pull requests, discussions, and community events.

Our Standards

Positive Behaviors

  • Be respectful. Treat others with kindness and professional courtesy.
  • Listen actively. Consider different perspectives before responding.

  • Appeals: If you disagree with an enforcement decision, you can appeal within 30 days.

Examples

✅ Good Interactions

Code review:

"I think we could simplify this loop using a closure. What do you think about...?"

Disagreement:

"I see your point, but I'm concerned about performance. Here's a benchmark showing... Can we discuss alternatives?"

Helping newcomers:

"Great first PR! The logic looks good. One thing: we typically use context.Context for cancellation. Here's an example..."

❌ Unacceptable Interactions

Dismissive:

"Only an idiot would write code like this."

Harassing:

"People like you shouldn't be programming."

Gatekeeping:

"You're not a 'real' engineer if you haven't used [obscure framework]."
