Highlights
After maintaining an open source project with 15k stars for 3 years, here are my honest thoughts: 1. Most issues are feature requests disguised as bugs 2. The best contributors start with docs 3. Burnout is real — take breaks 4. A good CONTRIBUTING.md saves hundreds of hours What would you add?

Just hit 1M downloads/month on our CLI tool. 🎉 Started as a weekend project 2 years ago. The secret? Obsessive focus on DX: - Fast startup time (<100ms) - Helpful error messages - Shell completions out of the box - Zero config for 80% of use cases

Rust tip of the day: Use `cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic` in CI. Yes, it's annoying. Yes, it will catch bugs before your users do.
