In this episode, Daniel Roe, Lead Maintainer of the Nuxt framework, discusses his journey from studying law and theology to leading a major open-source framework. He explains Nuxt's unique governance and how Nuxt manages contributions through volunteer-driven work, LLM-powered issue triage, and creating welcoming spaces for newcomers to open source.

This week, our chat touches on a variety of topics including:

• Unique governance structure: Unlike the typical BDFL model, Nuxt has original authors who can provide oversight while Daniel leads day-to-day operations
• Automated triage system: Using LLM categorization to classify issues, check for reproductions, and streamline the process of handling 800+ open issues (with 16,000 closed)
• Community-driven culture: Emphasizing that a friendly, approachable community matters more than official policies in making newcomers feel welcome
