Just gave my #FOSDEM talk: "The Synthetic Senior" 🎤

AI can generate PRs that *look* senior, but they often arrive without understanding.

How do maintainers find contributors worth mentoring?

**The 3 C's:**
💡 **Comprehension** — do they understand?
⚙️ **Context** — do they equip me to review?
🔄 **Continuity** — do they come back?

Comprehension + Context get you reviewed. Continuity gets you mentored.
