Code of Conduct Updates
Junior Dev Policy Update
The following policies for Junior Developers have been approved and are now in effect:
- You may only make a maximum of 2 ~Hack~ sets during your Junior Developer period. RAM digging is a vital skill, as is set design, and it is important that a developer be able to design a set and dig through memory without the crutch of a base set to fall back on.
- You may not revise or add a subset to an already existing set unless you have already published a set of your own. Due to the cumbersome process involved in getting approval for and implementing such sets, we would rather have junior developers experience a more streamlined process for their first set.
