Edit: Thanks for your kind comments on disabling contributions. I’m aware of the possibility, this is just a meme.
Contributions in open source projects are great, needed and make the world a better place after all. Therefore they should be declined politely, optionally by giving a reason.
I hereby inform you that I will no longer accept contributions to this post /s.
Me after submitting my 50th PR this month: “Look at me. I am the maintainer now.”
I never understand people rejecting free improvements on FOSS projects.
EDIT: Y’all, It’s not like I cannot comprehend why they do it. Please stop trying to explain it to me. When I said “I don’t understand”, I meant the psyche of the character that does that. I personally do FOSS to improve the world and collaborate with others that do so as well. I will never get people who do FOSS and then get salty about people liking it too much.
Apart from bad quality code, the PR might not fit the vision the owner has in mind for the project. Improvements are subjective.
Sure, but that’s not what the meme implies.
Don’t worry, you also get issue reports were the user didn’t read the start guide or document any of the steps to reproduce the issue.
When submitting issues, I live in constant fear of creating duplicates.

Imagine getting PR’s against ur projects 😿
I’ve had someone screenshot my code, circle a buggy line in red, and blog about it instead of submitting a PR.
