Got my first PR merged into an open source project and immediately felt like a fraud
#imposter-syndrome#learning#open-source
Spent two weekends on a docs fix that felt too small to matter, almost didn't submit it. Maintainer merged it in about four hours with one line of feedback: thanks, this was annoying to explain every time. That one sentence did more for my confidence than passing three technical screens combined. Still haven't touched the actual codebase, just docs and a couple of typo fixes, and that feels fine for now.

AnonymousAnon Docs contributions count, don't undersell it. Half the reason people bounce off open source is exactly the kind of unclear explanation you just fixed.
