Are you participating in Hacktoberfest 2021? I got my start with open source with Hacktoberfest 2018. I remember being so nervous for those first pr’s. I have continued to participate every year, and it feels good to give back. It made a big change on me # [1] Something that it really did for me was to lower the hurdle to contribute regularly. I am not a huge contributor to open source. I am not necessarily a regular maintainer of any large project, but I do often raise issues when I see things as a user that would make things easier or more clear.
