Community Handbook // Standards & Etiquette

Community Guidelines

The principles that keep the TMI community useful, generous, and safe for everyone. Simple by design, creating the conditions for great exchange.

Make it useful

Share the context behind a decision, the constraint you faced, and the learning that can help someone else take a clearer next step.

Disagree with the idea, not the person. Ask before you infer, name your uncertainty, and leave room for a different lived experience.

Keep private data, credentials, customer details, and confidential client information out of posts, screenshots, and replies.

Avoid empty promotion, copied content, and engagement bait. If you share a project, tell us what you learned while building it.

Link to the people, teams, research, and open-source projects that shaped your thinking. Good references make a conversation more durable.

Write for the person who arrives later. Use descriptive titles, explain the acronyms, and close the loop when a question is resolved.
