DigitalOcean's Engineering Code of Conduct

No feigning surprise

No condescending well-actually’s

Egads - I thought this was going to be about serious matters (like the climate of toxic sexual behavior that pervades our industry). But no - it's about thought control and enforcing a culture of fake niceness.

Because -- or "well, actually" -- sometimes surprise is a perfectly normal human emotion. And "well actually" is just... a fill phrase that pops out of your mouth.

Nothing more.

On the more nuanced side -- I get the point about how these behaviors can seem out of tune, or rub some people the wrong way. So I welcome helpful discourse about them. It's when you feel you have to make a "code of conduct" to regulate them is where it starts to seem controlling and, basically, unhuman.

And very corporate.

Interesting and somewhat paranoid reaction. To me these codes discourage behaviours which aren't conducive to a healthy and productive working environment.

You just did a microaggression by calling them paranoid.

Wish more companies would post theirs. Makes it easy to spot places I wouldn't be caught dead working at.

Are these codes of conduct for engineers, by engineers? They seem like someone is stereotyping engineers as having no social graces whatsoever and making rules in a heavy-handed fashion.
