| 4 | +as its guidelines for contributor interactions. |

| 6 | +## The Code Manifesto |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +We want to work in an ecosystem that empowers developers to reach their |
| 9 | +potential — one that encourages growth and effective collaboration. A space that |
| 10 | +is safe for all. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +A space such as this benefits everyone that participates in it. It encourages |
| 13 | +new developers to enter our field. It is through discussion and collaboration |
| 14 | +that we grow, and through growth that we improve. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +In the effort to create such a place, we hold to these values: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +1. **Discrimination limits us.** This includes discrimination on the basis of |
| 19 | + race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, technology |
| 20 | + and any other arbitrary exclusion of a group of people. |
| 21 | +2. **Boundaries honor us.** Your comfort levels are not everyone’s comfort |
| 22 | + levels. Remember that, and if brought to your attention, heed it. |
| 23 | +3. **We are our biggest assets.** None of us were born masters of our trade. |
| 24 | + Each of us has been helped along the way. Return that favor, when and where |
| 25 | + you can. |
| 26 | +4. **We are resources for the future.** As an extension of #3, share what you |
| 27 | + know. Make yourself a resource to help those that come after you. |
| 28 | +5. **Respect defines us.** Treat others as you wish to be treated. Make your |
| 29 | + discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask |
| 30 | + yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive? Anything less is |
| 31 | + unacceptable. |
| 32 | +6. **Reactions require grace.** Angry responses are valid, but abusive language |
| 33 | + and vindictive actions are toxic. When something happens that offends you, |
| 34 | + handle it assertively, but be respectful. Escalate reasonably, and try to |
| 35 | + allow the offender an opportunity to explain themselves, and possibly correct |
| 36 | + the issue. |
| 37 | +7. **Opinions are just that: opinions.** Each and every one of us, due to our |
| 38 | + background and upbringing, have varying opinions. The fact of the matter, is |
| 39 | + that is perfectly acceptable. Remember this: if you respect your own |
| 40 | + opinions, you should respect the opinions of others. |
| 41 | +8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and |
| 42 | + contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't hesitate |
| 43 | + to apologize if you make one yourself. |
