| ### how to not be a jerk... | |
| # No feigning surprise | |
| The first rule means you shouldn't act surprised when people say they don't | |
| know something. This applies to both technical things ("What?! I can't believe | |
| you don't know what the stack is!") and non-technical things ("You don't know | |
| who RMS is?!"). | |
| Feigning surprise has absolutely no social or educational | |
| benefit: When people feign surprise, it's usually to make them feel better | |
| about themselves and others feel worse. And even when that's not the intention, | |
| it's almost always the effect. | |
| As you've probably already guessed, this rule is | |
| tightly coupled to our belief in the importance of people feeling comfortable | |
| saying "I don't know" and "I don't understand." | |

| ### how to not be a jerk... | |
| # No well-actually's | |
| A well-actually happens when someone says something that's almost - but not | |
| entirely - correct, and you say, "well, actually…" and then give a minor | |
| correction. | |
| This is especially annoying when the correction has no bearing on | |
| the actual conversation. | |
| This doesn't mean we're not about truth-seeking or that we don't care about | |
| being precise. Almost all well-actually's in our experience are about | |
| grandstanding, not truth-seeking. | |
| (Thanks to Miguel de Icaza for originally coining the term "well-actually.") | |

| ### how to not be a jerk... | |
| # No back-seat driving | |
| If you overhear people working through a problem, you shouldn't intermittently | |
| lob advice across the room. | |
| This can lead to the "too many cooks" problem, but more important, it can be | |
| rude and disruptive to half-participate in a conversation. | |
| This isn't to say you shouldn't help, offer advice, or join conversations. On | |
| the contrary, we encourage all those things. Rather, it just means that when | |
| you want to help out or work with others, you should fully engage and not just | |
| butt in sporadically. | |

| # Let the learner drive | |
| At times it may be faster when you're helping someone to jump on their keyboard | |
| and just get the task done, but that's no way to learn. | |
| Although at times this | |
| takes a great deal of patience for both parties, in the end, one of the best | |
| ways to learn is by doing. So, unless someone offers their keys up, let them do | |
| the driving. | |

| # No subtle -isms | |
| Our last social rule bans subtle racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and | |
| other kinds of bias. This one is different from the rest, because it covers a | |
| class of behaviors instead of one very specific pattern. | |
| Subtle -isms are small things that make others feel uncomfortable, things that | |
| we all sometimes do by mistake. | |
| For example, saying "It's so easy my grandmother could do it" is a subtle -ism. | |
| Like the other four social rules, this one is often accidentally broken. Like | |
| the other three, it's not a big deal to mess up – you just apologize and move | |
| on. | |
