Code isn’t everything: This was the loudest piece of feedback. A massive 66% of respondents explicitly stated that all types of contributions – including documentation, design, event organization, and community support – must carry the exact same weight as code contributions.

This is actually super important in any project. Lately whenever I finish something the first thing I do is document it. You can use AI for that, but it’s not great.

I have always liked the Python documentation, so I emulate that with a human introduction, the key API methods, and copious examples.

I always say a project isn’t done until it’s documented.
