Code of Conduct
Help each other move forward
DevHouse works when people feel comfortable sharing unfinished work.
Everyone in the room is building something. Some people have been doing it for twenty years. Some people started last week. The goal is to help each other move forward.
What we encourage
- Be curious.
- Be helpful.
- Respect people and their work.
- Share honest feedback with kindness.
- Ask questions.
- Welcome newcomers.
- Give more than you take.
Opportunities are welcome
DevHouse exists to help builders connect. Jobs, internships, collaborations, contracts, cofounders, customers, and partnerships can all emerge from the room. That's a feature, not a bug.
If you're hiring, recruiting, investing, or looking for collaborators, be open about it. Just remember that relationships come first. Participate in the room, contribute to conversations, and get to know people as builders—not just opportunities.
Wins we love to hear: “I got my job through someone I met at DevHouse.” “My startup's first engineer came from DevHouse.” “I met my cofounder at DevHouse.” Those stories are part of the room.
What doesn't belong here
- Harassment or intimidation.
- Personal attacks.
- Walking in to pitch everyone without participating in the room.
- Collecting contacts without joining the conversation.
- Treating the room as a sales funnel—or people as leads instead of builders.
- Aggressive recruiting that ignores the community.
- Repeated disruption of the room.
- Taking credit for someone else's work.
- Sharing private conversations without permission.
A simple rule
Leave people more energized about building than when they arrived.
If someone consistently makes the room worse, organizers may ask them to leave.
Reporting
If something's off, reach an organizer privately. Use the contact path on the Join page—we'll take it seriously.
