This makes me genuinely curious, who thought that would be a good idea?
It feels like a lot of “contribution” to open source suddenly is fueled by AI hype. Is it a LinkedIn/TikTok “trick” that is being amplified that somehow one will get a very well paid job at a BigTech company if they somehow have a lot of contributions on popular projects?
Where does that this trend actually come from?
Did anybody doing so ever bother checking contribution guidelines to see which tasks should actually be prioritized and if so with which tools?
This seems like a recurring pattern so it’s not a random idea someone had.
