Projects need contributors who bring: - Context - Ownership - Thoughtful review Contributors need: - Clear expectations - Support - A path in - Room to learn and grow Both lists are now non-negotiable to keep standards.

2/5 Here on Bluesky, 63% of posts react to AI code without getting into it. On Hacker News, 60% are hands-on: building, debugging, reviewing. HN also reads more positive, 55% against 39% here.

7/8 What are some best practices that actually get followed? I found Org mode through the @sustainoss.bsky.social forum. They have a rule that does not allow LLM-generated code into the project. orgmode.org/worg/org-con...
