What Opinions Do The Authors Have?
Be aware of the human element in open-source projects. We should understand and follow the project's coding style, including linting and formatting preferences. If the project lacks a style guide or linting rules, we can offer to help create them, but we should always do so with the approval of the original maintainers.
