The SJW entryist hates, hates, the hacker. For the hacker does not care who they are.
Many are misanthropes: they despise everyone equally.
And if you don’t code well, they will say so.

Which is always interpreted by the social justice wounded as they are taught: a means of power.

Many open source communities are undermined by competition, politics and power dynamics; all which negatively affect the community, especially newcomers

No. Open Source is not about community. It is about the code. If the code is fine, we are fine. If the code is not fine, we want to fix it, and if you are in the way you will be as bulldozed as if you stood in front of a train. In general, we also like trains: we care that the train is fine, and once we have cleaned up the viscera of the social justice wounded who were moronic enough to stand in front of it will be.

And it is not as if the wounded can code, or build the train: the literally depend on both, given that just-in-time delivery of their groceries and medications relies on software and mass transportation. To quote ESR:

Rosario tagged his Twitter report “Social Justice in action!” He knows who these people are: SJWs, “Social Justice Warriors”. And, unless you have been living under a rock, so do you. These are the people – the political and doctrinal tendency, united if in no other way by an elaborate shared jargon and a seething hatred of djangoconcardiff’s “white straight male”, who recently hounded Nobel laureate Tim Hunt out of his job with a fraudulent accusation of sexist remarks.

I’m not going to analyze SJW ideology here except to point out, again, why the hacker culture must consider anyone who holds it an enemy. This is because we must be a cult of meritocracy. We must constantly demand merit – performance, intelligence, dedication, and technical excellence – of ourselves and each other.

Now that the Internet – the hacker culture’s creation! – is everywhere, and civilization is increasingly software-dependent, we have a duty, the duty I wrote about in Holding Up The Sky. The invisible gears have to turn. The shared software infrastructure of civilization has to work, or economies will seize up and people will die. And for large sections of that infrastructure, it’s on us – us! – to keep it working. Because nobody else is going to step up.

We dare not give less than our best. If we fall away from meritocracy – if we allow the SJWs to remake us as they wish, into a hell-pit of competitive grievance-mongering and political favoritism for the designated victim group of the week – we will betray not only what is best in our own traditions but the entire civilization that we serve.

Now, I generally don’t code. However, I spent today doing fairly technical things relating to research: I will do more, and later. If you try to tell me to be appropriate you better live in another Island. I am not nice, I am fairly fit, and I will have no compunction in calling you out. Most of my career I have questioned what is “best practice” — and frequently found thre is no data to support it.

But you need a group of scholars who lack a sense of herd — who are a little social inept, a bit nerdy — to do this. If I had more of those traits I would code for a living: those who do (and the sysadmins who keep the networks going) are now as essential to a modern society as plumbing.

But the Social Wounded disavow the importance of both: they forget the need for the soldier, and disparage the mother. They are an evolutionary dead end. They will be held to account by the next generation, and by the Almighty in the life to come. Do not be them. Do not be like them.

The rest of us need to make sure that the train — the task which we is set — is fine.
