If writing the code is the easy part, why would I want someone else to write it?

I think the issue tracker is a nice rejoinder to the idea that the code is the easy part. They have 80 bugs. https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20type%3Abug&page=2 (do note that while it looks like they have no open bugs older than December 2024, they auto-closes stale issues).
Of course, many of the bugs probably require design and judgment, and all the things that are arguably not code. But apparently not all:
At the end of the post, the author says "Don't worry about the code, I can push the button myself."
Apparently pushing the button is still pretty tough.
P.S. I'm not even arguing with closing external PRs. AI slop seems to be a huge problem for projects that accept contributions, and maybe this policy is the only solution. I'm just annoyed at "writing the code is the easy part". It still isn't that easy!
