@codingjoe@fosstodon.org I was thinking about this today. With projects that get a lot of PRs, maybe it's worth prioritizing PRs where the contributor has expressed self-doubt, invited input on a specific part, or indicated that they tried several solutions and have landed on this one. A PR review is a mini collaboration and it's more enjoyable to collaborate with people who present themselves as "human" 🤔

@sarahboyce@mastodon.social hm... I guess that makes a lot of sense for large projects. Since I mostly do medium projects, it's less so about priorities but communication. The wild mix of English being my second language, non-native contributors, AI and ADHD is a lot to navigate. I know people universally mean well, but all cultures have different ways to express (or not express) this 😅 Some might see self-doubt as a weakness, while I consider it a strength.
