These rules are intended to be lightweight, -and to make more explicit certain social norms that are normally -implicit. Most of our social rules really boil down to "don't be a -jerk" or "don't be annoying." Of course, almost nobody sets out to be -a jerk or annoying, so telling people not to be jerks isn't a very -productive strategy. That's why our social rules are designed to -curtail specific behavior we've found to be destructive to a -supportive, productive, and fun learning environment. +The purpose of these principles is to provide guidance and a baseline +for interpersonal interactions at SIPB, whether in the office, at a +hackathon, or in an electronic medium. These expectations are focused +on individual empowerment and making SIPB a supportive, productive, +and fun learning environment, where people feel comfortable making +mistakes and learning from them.
