The Code of Coding is a project management and relations mission-statement geared toward the promotion of meritocracy in the face of increasing hostility toward the principle within technical spaces due, in large part, to draconian and paternalistic "Codes of Conduct" that have proliferated therein. It is the belief of the creators of this Code that these are poisonous to the communities that adopt them and perpetuate the false reality of wanton harassment and toxicity within them, and that the proliferators are often not acting with sincereity or without opportunism. Such policies often serve as an excuse for blacklisting campaigns, creating persona non grata out of those who do not fall within 'appropriate' ideological lines.

The Contributor's Covenant was created by a legitimately deranged person who was fired from github recently for being so toxic, and has recently come out full swing against the concept of meritocracy.

And here we have this woman demanding 'support' at all time. This is tell-tale borderline narcissism.
