Hacktoberfest was great for me this time. Would like to specially appreciate the website and logo design - love the cyberpunk like theme!
I also contributed to an npm library for the first time!
Thanks, DEV and DigitalOcean, for providing this opportunity!

Thanks for the timely and effective push forward.

Thanks to the Hacktoberfest I dared to interact with teams of unfamiliar projects. To do this, I had to study their rules, install a lot of new programs on the local machine, learn how to work with branches, make improvements to my PRs and correspond with people I have never seen. There was not enough time and determination for all this earlier.

In just 4 weeks I managed to solve many auxiliary problems that seemed incomprehensible and overwhelming. Now I felt that the doors of GitHub really opened, and before me appears a universe of new opportunities.

Many thanks!

My conributions in the last year

Thanks for giving me a nudge to try contributing to open source. I didn't make enough this time (first time) but I enjoyed it and I'll try again next year. Regardless I'll get involved and contribute until October 2020 anyway.
Hacktoberfest - What a great idea!

Hi Mohammad! I'd love the shirt if you're still looking to gift it. :) I finished at the end of the month so I'm pretty sure I didn't make it under the first 50,000.

Thank you everybody! It was a learning experience for me helping out reviewing Hacktoberfest PRs!

I definitely didn't realize that as DEV team we had our collective pairs of eyes on over 500 PRs!

That's amazing!!

Thanks for co-sponsoring the event, I discovered a whole new world. Even if I wasn't able to complete the event (mostly because I overcame my fear a little too late) I'm now focused on the opensource world and ready to do my part :)

That badge is freaking sweet. I didn't contribute to DEV this year because I don't know anything about Rails, but that's gonna change soon...

Maybe I signed up to Dev.to too late but I must say it was wonderful contributing for my very first time. It made the whole process so much less intimidating and the community was extremely welcoming and helpful.
