Sharing something that might help new contributors, I faced while setting up archestra👇 Large repos can get really slow (clone, fetch, etc.), especially as they grow over time (Well-Architected) I wrote a guide on how to handle this better while contributing: 👉 medium.com/@oulkarshubhu/dont-let-large-git-repositories-slow-you-down-519ac1bc0fb2 Hope this helps someone getting started 🙌

Hi everyone! I applied for the Software Engineer role and started going through the repo and I’d love to contribute. I noticed a lot of issues seem pre-scoped for candidates already in the pipeline – would you prefer I wait for a task through the process, or is it okay to pick something up independently?

Hi, I’m working on an issue approval flow for ChatOps, and I have a couple of questions: 1. When an approval request appears in a Slack thread, can only the user who initiated it approve or deny it, or can any user who has access to the bot do so? 2. If two users are talking to the bot in the same Slack thread and one of them receives an approval request, should a message from the second user interrupt the approval flow, or should it not?
