Coder’s Oath Text:

I promise to free my allocated memory.

I pledge to check Stack Exchange thoroughly before posting my question.

I vow to write clean code:

I will close my braces and end lines with a semi-colon (except in HTML and Python);

I will label all of my code clearly in the comments and resolve the to-dos therein;

I will follow formatting conventions.

I will validate all my pages with W3c.

I pledge to test frequently and in multiple ways: unit, integration, and user.

I will try not to weep over legacy code.

I will do my best not to BSoD when outside factors force me to renege on any of the previous.

I vow to help introduce new people to the joy of coding. To that end, I promise not to should “RTFM” in response to newbie questions, nor will I otherwise deliberately make newbies cry.

I will treat my fellow coders with respect regardless of any differences between us.

I will use my powers for good and not for evil.
