## Consequences

* Classes are forced to have consistent nullability annotations.
* IDE warnings become more accurate, reducing warnings fatigue.
* Public API nullability annotations become closer to reality.
* Java compilation of Gradle code suffers from small performance penalty (up to 10%).
* Time has to be allocated to clean up existing projects.

## FastAPI Experts

The people that help others the most in GitHub Discussions can become [**FastAPI Experts**](./fastapi-people.md#fastapi-experts).

This is normally the best way to contribute to the project.

## External Contributions

External contributions are very welcome and appreciated, including answering questions, submitting PRs, etc. 🙇‍♂️

We use *Specification* and *Discovery* documents stored in Google Drive, but they present some downsides:

* They are rarely updated after creation and initial review, and then become hard to follow, especially after important decisions are made
* They are not synced with the code to reflect the eventual solution that is committed
* Google Docs is not a "code-oriented" tool, like Markdown can be

can more easily get a good answer, or even solve the problem yourself even before asking. And in GitHub I can make sure I always answer everything, even if it takes some time. I can't personally do that with the chat systems. 😅

Conversations in the chat systems are also not as easily searchable as in GitHub, so questions and answers might get lost in the conversation. And only the ones in GitHub count to become a [FastAPI Expert](fastapi-people.md#fastapi-experts), so you will most probably...
