Contrary to problems with tech in society in general, we don't impose
our code review process onto people who aren't directly involved.
And it's entirely up to us how far we go with enforcing our self-made
rules, by technical means or otherwise.
So I don't think this analogy makes sense in this particular case.
Hi.
I second this: rules have to be enforced by technical means whenever
possible.
wow.
It's interesting this should come up right now - I've recently been
spending a lot of time reading about, watching documentaries, (last
night it was the Bolsheviks!!) and generally studying the whole concept
of this machine controlled society we (tech people) are blindly making
for ourselves. And it's certainly one in which do not want to live, nor
do I want anybody else I care about to live in. As said Neels, I'll refrain from expressing my
opinion again after this,
so just once more; A "community" that can operate without the technical
enforcement of rules will be a more healthy community.
The community is healthy if this discussion ends up with consensus for
some particular code review process we decide to try next. We'll only
get there if people keep expressing opinions, listen to each other,
and compromise willingly. So please don't stop voicing your opinions.
