There's a difference between managing or coaching juniors in your company/team, and random persons on the Internet offering a tiny patch. There's an expectation for junior devs on your team to stick around for a while, and presumably there was an interview process that established some baseline ability so you're reasonably confident that they can grow towards your expectations. The random person on the internet isn't obliged to stick around, and most often for these kind of "drive-by" fixes they won't be. You don't know the actual abilities of this random person and how well they'd respond to your comments on their fixes. If we're talking about management, IMHO one of the most frustrating things of managing people is when somebody else assigns random people as your reports and you're now responsible for their performance. Now imagine some random self-entitled person on the Internet spent a couple days working on a sub par fix, and now you're responsible for coaching them as if you're their manager? The analogy is honestly ridiculous. I often wondered what the big fuss was about when people talked about hosting projects on github and unwanted PRs (eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25940799 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25940799 ) Now I kind of understand. Not wanting to deal with random PRs and you'd be accused of "destroying morale, wasting people's time" and being a bad manager. Such insane ideas of entitlement...
