Add best practice page for "Patches over instructions"
Description
Patches are the epitome of an actionable comment. They are also so much more consumable that blobs of text.
Let's add a page (something like /practices/patches-over-instructions) highlighting the best practice of leaving patches.
Points to hit
- Leaving a comment with a bunch of detailed instructions will create lots more back-and-forth because text is open to interpretation and is hard to digest.
- Patches are the ultimate of actionable comment (simply apply and go).
- Patches are a very effective way to mentor.
- Code speaks louder than words.
Ideally we would also mention that:
- Patches doesn't have to be limited to
gitor even code. The idea is to let the reader see real changes on top of their submission.
