Hi!
I found code of conduct in documentation and I was wondering if it were true. Checking the version history it appears to have been added on 2018-02-22.

Clients were encouraging me to have a code of conduct. (Having a CoC seems to be a trendy thing nowadays.)

I looked it up, wondering what it would say, and I have to say, I love it.

I have to admit I was a lot more excited about the concept of SQLite having a Code of Conduct until I actually read it. Regardless of the fact that I seem to fail a great many of its provisions, it seems fairly deaf—if not antagonistic—to the issues of our times that have created demand for such documents.

As if I needed another reason for SQLite to be my favorite database. Well

There's no atheists/freethinkers at SQLite?

Well in the preface it does say that full compliance is near impossible and
not required. I wouldn't call it antagonistic, it has many rules that are very inclusive of anyone. I must say it's a bit messy though, there are quite a few rules and not all of them are nicely orthogonal. Most of them boil down to Bill and Ted's "Be excellent to each other", with a dash of YOLO and a plea to maximize your karma score. I can live with that. Wout.

There's no atheists/freethinkers at SQLite? There's at least one (me), but they can simply ignore all the God-related rules, easy. It gets a bit harder for Hindus though, they have to mentally add "(your favorite for this use case)" in front of every mention of God. If the second half of 54 is observed, it would be a dreary world indeed. Hmm yes, I did not take any of the asceticism rules seriously. I am and will continue to be in frequent non-compliance of them.

To be fair, internet is considered to be series of reposts.

There is indeed a reactionary hate mob forming on twitter. But most of the thoughtful commentators have been supportive, even if they disagree with the particulars of our CoC, They total get that we are not being exclusive, but rather setting a standard of behavior for participation in the SQLite community. I have tried to make that point clear in the preface to the CoC, that we have no intention of enforcing any particular religious system on anybody, and that everyone is welcomed to participate in the community regardless of ones religious proclivities. The only requirement is that while participating in the SQLite community, your behavior not be in direct conflict with time-tested and centuries-old Christian ethics. Nobody has to adhere to a particular creed. Merely demonstrate professional behavior and all is well. Many detractors appear to have not read the preface, or if they read it, they did not understand it. This might be because I have not explained it well. The preface has been revised, months ago, to address prior criticism from the twitter crowd. I think the current preface is definitely an improvement over what was up at first. But, there might be ways of improving it further. Thoughtful suggestions are welcomed. So the question then arises: If strict adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict is not required, why even have a CoC? Several reasons: First, "professional behavior" is ill-defined. What is professional to some might be unprofessional to others. The Rule attempts to clarify what "professional behavior" means. When I was first trying to figure out what CoC to use (under pressure from clients) I also considered secular sources, such as Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues (http://www.thirteenvirtues.com/) but ended up going with the Instruments of Good Works from St. Benedict's Rule as it provide more examples. Secondly, I view a CoC not so much as a legal code as a statement of the values of the core developers. All current committers to SQLite approved the CoC before I published it. A single dissent would have been sufficient for me to change course. Taking down the current CoC would not change our values, it would merely obscure them. Isn't it better to be open and honest about who we are? Thirdly, having a written CoC is increasingly a business requirement. (I published the currrent CoC after two separate business requested copies of our company CoC. They did not say this was a precondition for doing business with them, but there was that implication.) There has been an implicit code of conduct for SQLite from the beginning, and almost everybody has gotten along with it just fine. Once or twice I have had to privately reprove offenders, but those are rare exceptions. Publishing the current CoC back in February is merely making explicit what has been implicit from the beginning. Nothing has really changed. I did not draw attention to the CoC back in February because all I really needed then was a hyperlink to send to those who were specifically curious. So then, why not use a more modern CoC? I looked at that too, but found the so-called "modern" CoCs to be vapid. They are trendy feel-good statements that do not really get to the heart of the matter in the way the the ancient Rule does. By way of analogy, I view modern CoCs as being like pop music - selling millions of copies today and completely forgotten next year. I prefer something more enduring, like Mozart. One final reason for publishing the current CoC is as a preemptive move, to prevent some future customer from imposing on us one of those modern CoCs that I so dislike. In summary: The values expressed by the current CoC have been unchanged for decades and will not be changing as we move forward. If some people are uncomfortable with those values, then I am very sorry for them, but that does not change the fact. On the other hand, I am open to suggestions on how to express those values in a way that modern twitter-ites can better understand, so do not hesitate to speak up if you have a plan. -- D.

I would vote for a major simplification, down to something like "love
thy neighbor", "do unto others as ...", or "don't do unto others as ..."

> I would vote for a major simplification There's no point. The point of the code a posted is that it is a direct copy of the code of St. Benedict, the rules (allowing for translation from the Latin) which have been accepted by Benedictine monks for 1300 years. In that time the rules were debated, by people of all religions and none, far more cleverly and amusingly than I've seen in the past week on the internet. If you're not going to accept those rules, in exactly the translation used, you might as well pick something entirely different.
