I don't get this. People who don't use the software can't hack on it? Since when did software engineering not get repetitive? I have contributed to langchain, for example, without ever doing as much as an "import langchain" outside of debugging. I feel like people are making a heuristic out of negative recall bias here. And why I am so concerned is, it destroys an entire gateway into open source. An entire gateway which is pretty common for people from developing countries. They don't have local mentors, open source would probably be the first time they will have access to real programmers (I've personally been there).
