If you don't know the name, Sindre Sorhus is a very prolific open source developer who maintains over 1,000 libraries.

He'll still accept issue reports but not PRs.

Posting it because I think this is the beginning of a trend for how open source works. A lot of hard parts about being an open source maintainer are just solved when they control the coding agent.

"It simply makes no sense for me to spend time reviewing and going back and forth on a low-quality PR when I can generate, verify, and ship the fix myself 10× faster."
