I only have a handful of projects I've open sourced and a few dozens I intend to one day when I'm happy with them. And although there are have been very little contributions over the years, getting private emails such as "hi, implement {THIS}, k, 10x, bye" has been insanely irritatin and largely the reason why I've ALWAYS ignored those. In addition, I ditched github completely partially because microsoft and partially because I was sick of all the slop that was thrown down my throat. I see no value in a PR that no one has even bothered to read, because let's face it - only a handful of people worldwide have the discipline to do it. And to me, this seems to be the ultimate technical form of disrespect: if I get a PR and I'm the first human in the loop that reads it, what value do you bring. Even more annoying: "let claude review it". Absolutely no! And when I have a question, your purpose in the supply chain is to be a meat reverse proxy to the llm. Hell na. So good on those projects.
