- kragen 1y agoI think it's reasonably common for accepting external contributions to an open-source project to be more trouble than it's worth, just because most programmers aren't very good.
- zX41ZdbW 1y agoI often use a different approach - assume by default that external contributors are smarter than our employees. This is needed to prevent arrogance and entitlement during code reviews. A reasonable pull request from an external contributor is more valuable than one from an employee.
