from /villagepump/2024/02/06 Context on the pros and cons of bots that automatically close issues
- I was just contemplating something related this morning.
- Source code and developer resources need to be distinguished
- these last (followed by a duration noun and a past sentence: time period before the present time of the speaker)
-
Since source code is a resource that can be replicated at almost zero cost, it should be âavailable to everyoneâ, while âactions that consume limited human timeâ such as inquiries and requests should only be allowed to those who are clearly demarcated, or is it that these two types of resources are somehow tied together? Itâs not a good idea to do so.
-
- And this.
-
Limited âOccupantsâ can participate in modifying the Rules of Use (Condition 3)
-
- these last (followed by a duration noun and a past sentence: time period before the present time of the speaker)
- Anyone is free to duplicate and use the source code because it is zero cost, but the contributorâs cognitive resources are limited, so donât make the mistake of thinking that they are free to use them.
- Iâm talking about how these two resources are completely different in nature.
- So if a contributor wants to automatically close an issue that is not moving, that is the contributorâs decision.
-
Limited âOccupantsâ can participate in modifying the Rules of Use (Condition 3)
- No movement means that the person who wrote the issue is not moving things and is waiting for contributors to move them
- In other words, from the contributorâs point of view, not enough payment is being made.
-
- I think the reason why they want to close it automatically is because there are too many of them and theyâre annoying.
- If you donât close it automatically, itâll just keep piling up and getting annoying.
