Evolution of programming:
1. Engineers write code that they understand.
2. Engineers use libraries (made by others) that they understand.
3. Engineers use libraries (made by others) that they don't understand (because there are too many of them to audit how each one works).
4. Engineers copy-paste SO code (made by others) they don't understand.
5. Engineers use AI-generated code (made by no human being) that nobody understands.

#GitHub should make issues and discussions disabled by default when creating a new project. #FOSS doesn't mean it comes with support or warranty (and all OSS licenses explicitly state that it doesn't) and you shouldn't expect individual developers (and especially newcomers that don't know what features and why they should disable) moderate communities around their projects, help everyone with everything, and fix all reported issues.
