Why It's Hard?

Where do I even start?
Open source is overwhelming. There are thousands of repos, but no clear starting point. It's easy to get lost in a sea of projects, unsure which ones are active or beginner-friendly. Without guidance, many new contributors spend hours searching and still feel paralyzed by choice.
This repo is massive and confusing.
Codebases are big, messy, and hard to understand—especially for beginners. Documentation is often outdated or missing, and the code itself can feel like a maze. It's tough to figure out what the project actually does.
I'm afraid of messing up in public.
Making mistakes in public is scary. What if you break something or look silly? The fear of judgment or criticism can stop you from even trying. Many beginners worry about asking "dumb" questions, making the wrong changes, or being seen as inexperienced by the community.
I don't know if I'm ready.
Imposter syndrome is real. It's hard to know if you're "good enough." You might feel like you need to be an expert before you can contribute, or that everyone else is more qualified. This self-doubt keeps many talented people from ever making their first PR.
