Still more useful than Hacktoberfest contributions, so I can't blame her.
There is no point in publicly shaming junior developers.
Lot of them are paid doing low-value (or even no-value) work in companies too, but it's part of the learning process.
It's good that she got interested and she certainly learnt more along the way, plus this was 7 years ago...
- Aeolun 4y agoThere’s no point in lifting them up beyond reason either. What are other juniors going to think if they hear that one of their peers already got 340 patches accepted into the kernel? News like this is why I just don’t trust anyone when they say they’ve done something impressive. It always turns out to be hot air.
- rvnx 4y agoYeah this is the quality > quantity problem, and I tend to agree with you. I think the issue starts from the university in some way like "get XXX commits accepted in open-source projects to pass/improve your CV".
