As someone who has done open source work, i sadly agree. People who contribute because they want it on their resume or want "experience" without caring about or using the software usually make terrible contributors.
- brainzap 3y agobut this can be solved
- dartos 3y agoHow do u think?
- drycabinet 3y agoexample: apply typo-fix PRs as commits by the maintainer, so that only those who are genuine will submit those.
- prepend 3y agoI agree. It can be reduced through PR review and since it’s public, people who make low value contributions are easier to spot than in non-OSS projects where the same vanity contribs are harder to see. I’d say that if I saw bullshit open source contribs on a resume it would be counterproductive. So I think people may do it for t-shirts, but to list as experience seems like it doesn’t happen as much as it seems it may.
