hi @Ashvith Shetty , it is easier to start with improving documentation, it is not just about code - actually it is more about adding value to the project. Begin with the easier tasks to increase your confidence then you can get into the more challenging improvements :)

@EddieJaoudeTV 3 жыл бұрын

@Ashvith Shetty yep no harm, so much can be learnt by doing alternatives and you will collab with new people too! Do it! On GitHub you can not do anything wrong, everything can be easily improved. The hardest is starting and being consistent :) - try to do a little every day, like brushing your teeth :)

It hit me when you said, 'we all use open source programs', because, man, I use so many, not just the ones related to software development. I have used several 'paid for' programs over the years, but I would say the majority of programs I use ARE open source; whether that be audio programs, video editors, text editors, image editors, internet browsers, and on and on; I didn't really think about it until just now when I heard you say it. I was just about to get my feet wet with open source because, after months of learning and slowly building a portfolio, I was recently reminded that I'll need to learn how to work with 'others' on projects - so why not start with open source instead of waiting for a job (which might not happen any time soon) in order to develop that skill. Well, now you've given me additional motivation for getting involved with open-source; I use so much of it myself and owe a lot to this area.
