Embrace Diversity and Inclusion
The world of coding spans continents, cultures, identities, and experiences. We welcome people of all races, genders, abilities, sexual orientations, languages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and belief systems. Diverse perspectives lead to better solutions, richer discussions, and stronger innovations.
Guidelines:
- Use inclusive language in documentation, code comments, and communication.
- Avoid assumptions about others’ backgrounds or experiences.
- Be mindful of different learning styles and cultural expressions.
Engage with Empathy and Patience
Behind every line of code is a person—each with unique challenges, goals, and levels of experience. Whether answering a beginner’s question or discussing a high-level system design, treat others with empathy. Remember that what’s easy for one might be difficult for another.
Guidelines:
- Offer constructive feedback without condescension.
- Avoid sarcasm or passive-aggressive language in reviews or forums.
- Encourage, don’t belittle. A supportive tone creates confidence and growth.
