Thoughts about Issues and PRs

Some days not a single new issue or PR comes in. Other days I drown in both, and that is stressful.

Please do write issues and PRs so I understand them on first read. The smaller the footprint, the faster I can act. Don't put a million things into one issue/PR. Less is more. Best case: I hand the issue to a coding agent and never look at it again.

If I don't understand an issue or PR, I will close it! Right away! That is not me being harsh, it is how I stay sane: I don't have the time to Sherlock Holmes my way through it. A lot of issues and PRs these days are agent-written slop, and slop gets closed unread!

If I fixed your first issue right away, it's because it was well written and made sense, not because I'm bored and waiting for more work. Please put yourself in my shoes before opening the next five.

I know it's a fine line between "one problem per issue" and "don't flood the queue". When you are unsure, don't hesitate to write me an email first: Stefan Wintermeyer sw@wintermeyer-consulting.de

I am always happy to discuss ideas.

It breaks my heart to close an issue or PR. Especially if it was created by people I like. Let me repeat: This is not me being harsh, it is how I stay sane.

PS: A clear, easy-to-read subject line is gold. German is fine too, for issues, PRs and email alike.
