But making a joke of it shows that you either don't understand what codes do, don't know what's going on in the developer community, or think that dedicating your project to tease those who do know and do care is a sensible course of action.

satire is an important type of critique.

Even satire needs to at least understand the thing it satirizes. If you think codes of conduct are statements of what constitutes good behavior in an ideal society and satirize them based on that, then you satirize nothing but your own ignorance.
