[clangd-dev] Newcomer trying to contribute

[Ilya Biryukov via clangd-dev]

Hi Avishay,

Welcome and thanks for your interest in clangd!

In addition to Nathan's comments, I would also suggest discussing the
approach you want to take before submitting a patch for review.
Especially if the approach can be condensed to a few sentences.

Things usually go faster if reviewers and the author are aligned on the
direction of the patch beforehand.
