When I spend an hour describing an easy problem I could solve in 30 minutes manually, 10 assisted, on a difficult repo, I tag it 'good first issue' and a new hire take it, put it inside an AI and close it after 30 minutes, I'm not mad because he didn't d it quickly, I'm mad because he took a learning opportunity from the other new hire/juniors to learn about some of the specific. Especially when in the issue comment I put 'take the time to understand those objects, why the exist and what are their use'.
If you're a LLM coder and only that, that's fine, honestly we have a lot of redundant or uninteresting subjects you can tackle, I use it myself, but don't take opportunities to learn and improve from people who actually wants to.
Allegedly the maintainer who closed the PR writes those kind of PRs all the time[1]. Is Scott a first time contributor?

Performance improvement != Good first issue.

Did you check that all those issues were classified as "Good first issues" ? Otherwise like the LLM you are missing the point.
