Great article! I just started learning to code in February of this year and I've been looking for ways to start contributing to projects that aren't my own. I had considered open source and had been on the slack channels for a couple projects, but they seemed so cut and dry that it was a bit overwhelming. The instructions you provided here for finding a suitable project, as well as the resources for actually finding them are going to be a huge leg up for me. Thank you!
Thank you, Jacob! I am glad you find this information useful! It definitely can seem overwhelming at first, but I also think there is definitely value to early career devs contributing and I'm really happy to hear you're looking into it! Good luck, you totally got this!!!
