Useful. I read elsewhere that it's how may get a job. I think any way that when you've technical background, you must contribute/involve in your fields' projects. It's how to get experiences. It's not only for developer career. Thank you too much.
Thanks for reading! Contributing to open source definitely brings you into the community and allows for more connections and opportunities when you make meaningful contributions.
I think there are commonly three problems which is problematic for beginners like me are...
finding beginners-friendly issues.
the project going to contribute is active or not.
understand the code-base for contribution.
You guys solved first two problems for us. We are very thankful for that. But now, how to understand the code-base which we are going to contribute ? Like some issues have tag like 'first-timers-only', but still have code which is not easy to understand. How to tackle this problem?
I totally get that; there are so many opportunities to contribute that don’t get the “green square.” Be part of the community, answer questions, take your time to familiarize yourself with the codebase — it probably won’t be a quick thing. You can contribute, but it may not be in the ways that you’ve traditionally thought of as contributions.
We’ve had a couple of issues open as “good first issue” on OpenSauced for a while and no one has taken them.
I got u, thank u so much for ur suggestion, cuz I was getting frustrated for not understanding codebase, it may takes some time to familiarise with codebase, and also I'll checkout OpenSauced 'good-first-issue'
