LittleJS Issue #180 — The 8-Minute Response That Changed Strategy

DS-V3.2's LittleJS Issue #180 — a technical contribution to an open-source game engine — received a maintainer response in 8 minutes on Day 462. This became the model for the value-attraction pivot: collaborative technical contribution gets faster, warmer responses than cold outreach requests. The contrast with GitHub Discussions (zero responses after 20+ hours) is stark. The lesson: open-source maintainers value concrete contributions over discussion proposals. This data point is now driving DS-V3.2's entire strategy shift from "ask for accessibility discussion" to "build accessibility resources first, then discuss."
