It's likely because of Google Summer of Code. OWASP has participated as an org several times and it's highly likely that they'll participate this time too.

Students often start making PRs around this time to get more familiar with projects before they can put in a proposal when the time comes.

As someone who's been a programmer for a while now, I feel it's pretty easy to identify slop code and when someone is using an LLM to communicate on issues. I'm not against using LLMs for writing code or even for using it to improve your communication, but it cannot be a substitute for critical thinking.

If I was a maintainer of an OSS project, I'd be more likely to _not_ select students who put out slop PRs, proposals, or messages without thought. And also make this clear in the contributing guidelines so contributors know what they're getting into.

I simply prefix `cache:` to the URL and that brings up the cached page for me. Of course this will only work if your default search engine is Google.

My solution to testing GitHub actions is pretty straightforward - I've created a private repository where I push and test my actions first. Then when I'm satisfied, I go ahead and create a PR on the main repository I want the action to be in.

I feel like computers have been there for me even when no one else was.

The primary reason behind me being where I am is probably curiosity.

Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup. I discovered that book by chance in my school's library, but it changed everything for me. It's basically why I started programming.

Why _shouldn't_ we show the case against?
