I love the "hello world" aspect of this. It allows you to focus on getting the tools up and running without having to think about the actual patch you're trying to make. On the other hand, I dislike the forces that incentivize developers to become shallow contributors to a lot of projects instead of deep contributors to one or a few projects. It feels toxic, just like the drive to get published paper counts up in academia without evaluating the quality of the publications or the contributions of the author. That's not the fault of the people who make this tool at all.
