Edit: Thanks for your kind comments on disabling contributions. I'm aware of the possibility, this is just a meme.

Contributions in open source projects are great, needed and make the world a better place after all. Therefore they should be declined politely, optionally by giving a reason.

I hereby inform you that I will no longer accept contributions to this post /s.

  1. It's meant as a portfolio and I don't want to risk someone mistaking some contribution for my own work.

  2. I don't actually intend to put any time into maintaining it, but you are free to fork it if you want that responsibility.

  3. Your linting is lousy. It causes my eyes much pain.

So disable prs then.

Why don't these get read only and archived then? Seems like there's a mechanism for this already?

Because maybe one day someone will send me something useful. Also I like the attention.
