I did. I was 16, participating in Google Code-in. The task was to refactor a CI/CD codebase to fetch the initialization script from the CI server instead of GitHub. My mentor was asleep (TZ difference) and I couldn't figure out the relevant code that I had to edit for the life of me. There's not really a comeback story here where I hit up caffeine, stay up all night and blaze away on the keyboard, I just went through it line by line and googled what I didn't know and then opened a PR. It did need modifications after it was reviewed but felt good :)
I won the contest though :D (got to visit Googleplex and SF!)
