There's been a big infestation of safe spacing in the open source software development world, to the gross detriment of the projects. It's the same as you'd expect, some low-level low-contribution "person" joins a project and starts foaming at the mouth over trivial language. Obviously when the attention is diverted from the code to coddling their nonsense, much less actual progress is made on the project, but they feel things are "better" for cleaning up the "toxic" behavior.
I see different but somehow very similar behavior in the corporate world of software development. I see alot of beta males who love to passive-aggressively correct each other over the most insignificant shit ever.
I sat and watched for 45 minutes today as two transplants who look like they have the same test levels as an octogenarian argued about whether some issue should have been classified as an impedient or a bug in jira.
