The Community Pull Request Is Dead
The valuable part of an open source contribution was never the code. It was the understanding. Someone found a problem, understood it well enough to describe it, maybe understood the codebase well enough to propose a fix. The code was a vehicle for that understanding. Now the code is free and the understanding is what's scarce. A detailed bug report with reproduction steps and a clear description of expected versus actual behavior is worth more than ten agent-generated PRs. It always was. The gap has just gotten enormous.
