Captain Dumbass Principles Megathread
This is the heart of our philosophy — the guiding values that make this place worth being part of.
These principles are our way of staying focused, staying honest, and having a damn good time building, sharing, and failing forward together.
Core Beliefs
- Contributors over critics. If you’re building, you’re welcome.
- Humor over ego. Keep it real — and keep it funny.
- Progress over perfection. Ship it, fix it, laugh at it, learn.
For Builders
We value:
- Clear documentation
- Sharing progress and process
- Owning mistakes openly
- Helping others level up
If you’re working on a game, an app, a story, or a stupidly over-engineered bash script — we salute you.
For Everyone Else
- Lurk respectfully
- Ask good questions
- Give honest, kind feedback
- Be excellent to each other

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being useful, brave, and a little ridiculous along the way.
