A satirical piece presenting '10 tips' for attracting low-quality AI-generated pull requests to open source projects. The humor skewers real problems in the open source ecosystem: vague issues labeled 'good first issue', committing node_modules, removing type annotations and tests, disabling branch protection, using GitHub Copilot instructions to prompt agents, and adopting contributor covenants that welcome AI bots. The piece references the real TLDraw incident of closing PRs due to AI slop, and mocks metrics-obsessed developer culture (lines of code, contributor counts, VC funding).
