I've submitted it to HN with a more to-the-point title, as I thought the community might find the original title too clickbaity.
- aberoham 6y agoHow do you handle this now as a singleton developer? Do you solicit reviews from private collaborators for parts of your recent work that aren't open-source?
- mtlynch 6y agoThanks for reading! Yeah, I still participate in code reviews now that I work for myself. I receive a lot of PRs to open source repos I maintain, and I sometimes hire developers on a contract basis to take on coding tasks that are easy for me to delegate and spec out. With open source contributions, I try to minimize my expectations of the author valuing my time as a maintainer because they're contributing work for free and a lot of them just aren't aware of how their choices affect the reviewer. But I do plan to link to this post in PR templates so that people can better understand how to contribute more effectively.
