This university is very stupid university. Is there anyway to know which university is forcing these kids to spam open source project?
- shimman 4mo agoYeah the entire community telling devs for the last 15 years that open source contributions is how you get a job. Stupid statements get stupid incentives.
- spaceman_atlas 4mo agoIt’s not even a rarity / one-off thing. From my personal heuristics and anecdata, this happens with regularity, near semester end times. Telltale marks: authors with university emails in github profile, often coming in pairs, with no prior interaction with the project, often trying to add features nobody wanted. Not even a CONTRIBUTING.md read-through, usually.
