No, there's an important difference between disagreeing with someone and harassing someone. I can disagree with you and still be civil, as I'm doing now. But some small-minded people go out and look for members of a certain group, whom they then harass: it might be women, Black people, Jews or trans people, for example. That (and not constructive differences of opinion) is what most people here want to stop.

Differences of opinion are valuable: they're how we learn. Harassment is just destructive.

Something I still don't understand (and didn't understand when I saw @0xabad1dea 's original post): why would crims target out-of-work developers, who are more tech-savvy than most people, probably don't have much money just now, and don't have access to company codebases?

@Bumblefish

Exactly. To the untrained eye, imperfect maths can look like good-enough maths. A compiler error is unambiguously not a good-enough anything.
