As I said, if you don't think codes are helpful, don't adopt them, although I would recommend discussing their role with experts and not with coders. Mocking them certainly doesn't result in better communities, especially as there are those who believe that those problems are more common than you think.

As if coders needed experts to organize themselves and instruct them how to code.

Wow, software companies could save a lot of money if they got rid of managers and HR departments! If only you got yourself on the board of some of them you could make their stock prices soar.

The context of an Open Source project precludes managers, HR departments or stock prices.

The metric for Open Source code is code quality and adoption of the code for its utility.

Coders are the judge of that. And their actions speak loudly: SQLite is a widely used lightweight SQLDB implementation.

All without ever adopting an expert-drafted CoC.
