Tend to agree, and I don't think it is as productive either. Set |
| 8 |
policies and enforce them, and the culture will gradually align to |
| 9 |
where we want it to go. Right now our culture probably turns away |
| 10 |
people who would be a good "cultural fit" because the reality is that |
| 11 |
they're really not a good fit because our current culture is lousy. |
| 12 |
If we fixed our culture, then people who want to flame away are likely |
| 13 |
to not bother applying because they see others like them being hounded |
| 14 |
by devrel. |

Policy enforcement isn't just corrective - it is preventative. When |
| 17 |
you set examples, others follow them beyond just the immediate target. |

Over time, properly-applied discipline is something that puts itself |
| 19 |
out of business. |
