## code of conduct

▸ Respect the presenter.

When someone is showing their work, give them your attention. Don't talk over them, don't type dismissive comments in chat, don't start side conversations. They put themselves out there. Honor that.

▸ Ask questions with curiosity, not judgment.

"How did you decide on that approach?" is great. "That's the wrong way to do it" is not. Even if you disagree with a technical choice, frame it as a question.

▸ No pitching, recruiting, or selling.

This is not a networking event. Don't use the chat to promote your own product, recruit people, or pitch services.

▸ No sharing without permission.

Don't screenshot, record, or share someone's presentation without their explicit consent.

▸ No harassment, or personal attacks.

Any form of harassment, or personal attacks will result in immediate removal. Zero tolerance, no warnings.

▸ Respect the format.

Keep your presentation within the time limit. Respect the host's moderation. Don't hijack Q&A to talk about your own project.

▸ No work projects.

If your employer is paying you to build it, this isn't the venue. We're here for the things people build on their own time. Exception: open-source projects released with your employer's blessing that solve a general problem.
