An interesting mind virus has taken hold of part of the open source community lately. Listen, code is good or bad regardless of whether it was written by mathematics or a human mind. A programmer or a machine. Accept good code, reject bad code. You don't need any fucking code of conduct or Contributor Covenant for that!
