My Year In Open Source : 10 Lessons in 10 Minutes
summary
A year and a half of full‑time open source work yields concrete habits: treat open source as different from internal work, respond within 24 hours to PRs and issues, ask contributors to add tests (the gentle nudge often produces a test PR within minutes), stop dropping everything for every report, close stale issues after two weeks, view bugs as opportunities, refuse entitlement, and reject radical PRs kindly with we are not quite ready for your awesome. These practices shrink workload and grow community.
