⚠️ This wiki is community-maintained. The wiki should NOT be considered "word of comma". Edit suggestions are welcome and encouraged!
comma.ai is a very open company. Their developers spend a lot of time on the Discord Server working with users and collaborating with other community developers. This is awesome. But please don't abuse this. Asking questions that have been answered is a waste of everyone's time. Wasting developer time means slower improvements for us all.
Before Asking a Question
Please follow the instructions on the #Guidelines channel, specifically:
• Is it answered on https://comma.ai/faq ?
• Is it answered on https://wiki.comma.ai/ ?
• Is the answer found in the pins of a related channel? (Discord Pins)
• Has the question been asked before? (Discord Search)
• Have you read the channel description to confirm this is the correct place for your question?
To read more about how to ask better questions read Eric Steven Raymond's post called How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. Well-formed questions lead to more engagement from the community.
