The One Rule That Covers All Others
Respect the builder's time. Every post, comment, and interaction should make someone a better builder. If it doesn't โ€” reconsider posting it.
How We Treat Each Other
๐Ÿค

Be respectful

Critique ideas, not people. Disagree with evidence, not attitude. All experience levels are welcome here.

๐Ÿšซ

No harassment or discrimination

Zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind. First offense results in removal.

๐Ÿ”

Assume good faith

Most confusion is accidental. Ask a clarifying question before escalating. Everyone here is trying to build something.

๐Ÿชช

No impersonation or deception

Don't misrepresent your identity, credentials, or the results of your systems. Ship truth, not marketing.

What Belongs Here

โœ… Post This

  • Workflow blueprints and working code
  • Failure post-mortems and lessons learned
  • Architecture diagrams and technical breakdowns
  • Tool comparisons backed by evidence
  • Questions โ€” no such thing as too basic

๐Ÿšซ Don't Post This

  • News links with no analysis or insight
  • Unsolicited product pitches or DM cold outreach
  • Benchmarks without methodology
  • Content teasers that gate the real value
  • Hype with no substance
Sharing Knowledge
๐Ÿ“–

Open by default

Share fully. If you post a blueprint or approach, share it completely โ€” no bait-and-switch to a newsletter or paid course.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Credit your sources

If your work builds on someone else's, say so. Link the original. Tag the author. We grow by standing on each other's shoulders.

๐Ÿ”’

Respect confidential work

Don't share client data, employer code, or proprietary systems. Anonymise case studies where needed.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Label what's untested

If you're theorising rather than reporting tested results, say so. Use [THEORY] or [UNTESTED] in your title.

AI Safety & Ethics
โš ๏ธ

No harmful agents

Don't share systems designed to deceive, surveil without consent, automate disinformation, or cause harm. This is non-negotiable.

๐Ÿค–

Disclose AI-generated content

If your post was substantially AI-generated without your own review and validation, say so. Unverified AI output passed off as tested work wastes everyone's time.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Include guardrails in blueprints

Any blueprint involving autonomous action โ€” web calls, code execution, transactions โ€” must include kill switches and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

Reporters are protected

Retaliation against anyone who files a good-faith report is itself a violation. You will never be punished for reporting something.
