Gary "grim" KramlichIt's hard to believe (not really) that in 2026 we still have to tell people to just ask their question instead of asking to ask which is already asking a question...
Clément RobertGuy deliberately sets an AI agent loose to, I quote ,“burn tokens” with explicit instructions for making specifically insignificant contributions to FOSS. Bot publishes PR with a single char change to docs (fix a typo).
I call out how irresponsible this is, with possibly the smallest impact/cost ratio I’ve ever seen, and now I can honestly not tell wether the response I get is genuine or another bot trying to sound sorry.

Numerous, unknown, no profile, no activity “users” showing up to support a feature request. 🤔 I think some people have far too much time on their hands. #TodayInOpenSource
Just a reminder for all open source users.
Telling a project what to do and not listening to their justifications against your proposal is not "helping to make the project better".
Carlton Gibson 🇪🇺Yet another week where my “Open Source Afternoon” reduces to “five minutes confirming something I knew weeks ago, so maybe I can get something done at some point in the near future”.
This is perfectly normal, and the REDACTED on issue REDACTED can solve their problem themselves if they’ve got a beef with it. #TodayInOpenSource
