feat: offer a less contentious ethos #13

Closed nrdxp closed 6 months ago

nrdxp commented 6 months ago

An alternative to #8, which potentially resolves #4 and #12, though I'm still not entirely convinced that it needs resolving. I thought it would be appropriate to offer a clearly defined alternative to give some contrast. Critique is welcome.

This version also contains some additional commits which try to simplify the language and maintain a consistent tone throughout.

Tips ### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with [CodeRabbit](https://coderabbit.ai): - Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example: - `I pushed a fix in commit .` - `Generate unit testing code for this file.` - `Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.` - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.` - `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.` - `@coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.` - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.` - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger a review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. Additionally, you can add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. ### CodeRabbit Configration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - Please see the [configuration documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/configure-coderabbit) for more information. - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json` ### Documentation and Community - Visit our [Documentation](https://coderabbit.ai/docs) for detailed information on how to use CodeRabbit. - Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback. - Follow us on [X/Twitter](https://twitter.com/coderabbitai) for updates and announcements.

@coderabbitai how exactly is #4 not resolved by this? The so called "defensive provision" in the Ethos section was entirely changed to a more positive statement.

[!TIP] For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@nrdxp, thank you for your question regarding how issue #4 is addressed by the recent changes in the PR.

Issue #4 raised concerns about the placement and tone of defensive provisions in the Code of Ethics, suggesting that they might diminish the inspirational impact of the document. The changes made in the PR, specifically in the Ethos section, appear to address these concerns by shifting the language from potentially defensive to more positively framed statements.

For instance, the revised text in the Ethos section now includes commitments like "I pledge to uphold this Ethic, committing to think freely and recognizing these tenets and Ethos as essential for productive cooperation and collective success." This represents a move towards emphasizing positive actions and commitments rather than defensive stances.

Additionally, the inclusion of statements like "Own your actions and their impacts" and "Treat all hackers equally, maintain decorum, and cultivate discipline" further supports a proactive and inclusive approach, aligning with the inspirational goals of the Code of Ethics.

These changes seem to directly address the original concerns by not only repositioning the defensive provisions but also by rephrasing them to foster a more positive and inclusive environment. If there are specific aspects of the changes that you feel do not fully resolve the issue, please let me know, and we can explore those details further.
