 * We have the obligation to use our positions of privilege, however tenuous, to improve the lives of others.
 * We must make room for people who are not like us to enter our field and succeed there. This means not only inviting them in, but making sure that they are supported and allowed to thrive.

 * We are devoted to practicing compassion and not contempt. We refuse to belittle other people because of their choices of tools, techniques, or languages.
 * The field of software development embraces technical change, and is made better by also accepting social change.
