When will people give up this archaic practice of sending patches over emails?
- SchemaLoad 1y agoSending patches over email is basically a filter for slop. Stops the low effort drive by PRs and anyone who actually wants to invest some time in to contributing won't have a problem working out the workflow.

- jnwatson 1y agoAI can figure out how to send a patch via email a lot faster than a human.
- MobiusHorizons 1y agolikely when it stops being a useful way to cut out noise
- gerdesj 1y agoWhen enough people don't want to do it anymore. Feel free to step up, live with email patches, and add to the numbers of those who don't like it and say so. Why is it archaic if it works? I get there might be other ways to do patch sharing and discussion but what exactly is your problem with email as a transport? You might as well describe voice and ears as archaic!
- jekwoooooe 1y agoArchaic: Very old or old fashioned
- gerdesj 1y agoDictionaries work fine for those with eyes, minds and fingers. This mechanistic effort at a definition is insufficient. How on earth can whatever this is manage less than a thumb through a dictionary? Archaic has way more meanings than just "old".
