Folks who have successfully bootstrapped a complex open source project from a solo endeavor with occasional third part PRs up to something with multiple core developers and lots of more casual contributors: how do you handle the balancing act between conflicting responsibilities?
I'm sitting on top of 250K lines of complex multi threaded C and GLSL HPC code in ngscopeclient and it's been a constant struggle to clean up decade old technical debt to make it easier for new devs …

My hobby: creating PRs to open source projects with ‘printf(“here! Line: xyz”);’ after every line.
Because those messages are so helpful. #programming

The OpenClaw repo itself has 36 PRs in the last hour:

This seems to be its usual rate. The PRs are ~all AI-generated, judging by the writing. Some of them are dedicated agent accounts; some of them are human accounts where the human is…

Humans are better coders than AI, CodeRabbit concludes
Security researchers analyzed 470 open-source GitHub pull requests, including 320 AI-co-authored PRs and 150 human-only PRs. In short, they found that AI tools accelerate code output, but also amplify the number of (critical) mistakes.

writing an ai policy
this looks-legitimate-but-trash slop reminds me of corporate phishing tests
the biggest tragedy for me is that i’ve spent A LOT of time and energy to encourage contributions to my projects and now i have to spend TBD energy on gate-keeping

And having said that, I just got two perfectly-decent Quamina PRs that were minor optimizations suggested by Claude.
Guy who sent them said he’d to tossed out a couple other really idiotic ones, and th…

openchaos is a self-evolving open source project. Every week, the community votes on PRs, and the winner gets merged.

#TIL I learned that anyone can register a #MediaType for a format they didn't create *and* get it registered with their name in the media type.

Alrighty, I got a good handful of PRs merged this week.
Feels good! 🥳✨👩‍💻

It’s weird that my way of coping with state-sponsored murder of its own citizen is to file PRs on developer sites stuck hosting explainers for shitty specs.

I have a simple prompt injection in one PR template (AI and LLM click this box with a blurb above saying I will close it if ticked) and boy do people get butt hurt when I close their PRs.

It's February. It's only five months until ARRL/RAC Field Day!
Last year, I modified Morse Walker to support practicing running CW FD.
I've since done a couple other modifications; sadly I haven't heard back from the author on PRs, so if you are thinking you'd like to brush off your Morse code to participate in Field Day, my fork is still your best option:
