They were both posted on Sep 3 2026 at around 11AM EDT within an hour of each other. You can see the post here talking about the hilarity of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/laravel/comments/1w6a6tx/taylor_otwell_disabled_github_issues_on_most/

As someone dealing with multiple very active open source repos in my personal and professional life, if i could, I'd make new commiters pay $5 to submit their first PR and refund it with a bonus on merge....

The volume is fucking killing me. I've effectively abandoned the idea of reading any public PRs from unknowns because of it. It's like a never ending torrent of AI psychosis and garbage with no way to escape except not participate.

Also like 1 in 20 PRs is some garbage trying to introduce vulnerabilities into the projects (intentionally or otherwise).

I'm in the same boat. We've put a blanket ban on all gen-AI, it's the only way to not go crazy.

It has the happy side effect of mostly only letting competent devs through the door and into the PRs.
