The beginning of the month, when every junk producer's token limit resets, and we get a whole new wave of junk. Turning off PRs helped a lot, but they just started opening "test issue, checking if my API access is broken", or commenting or emailing their patches instead. I really wish I knew how to escape this without turning off community interaction entirely. #python #flask #opensource
I've turned off pull requests from non-members for Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click this week, and have enjoyed not waking up to a fresh wave of AI junk every morning. I think I'm going to update our contributing guide to say "introduce yourself and how you use the library in chat first if you want to contribute pull requests". Sad that we had to go here, but aside from conference sprints we weren't really getting outside contribution anyway (which is also sad, but that's been the case a lot longer than AI has been around). #python #flask #opensource
