Be empathetic, patient and friendly

Remember you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary spoken or programming language, and others may not have your level of understanding. Disagreements, both social and technical, are useful learning opportunities. Seek to understand the other viewpoints and resolve differences constructively.

Be respectful

We are a world-wide community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners.

Be helpful

• Content must be on topic and useful for the Cleanlab community.(Think: Data, ML, and AI)
