This is a submission for the 2024 Hacktoberfest Writing challenge: Contributor Experience
Hacktoberfest is an incredible platform for both newcomers and seasoned developers alike to contribute to open-source projects, sharpen their skills, and showcase their creativity. Over the years, it has helped me grow tremendously as a developer, and I’m excited to share my experiences from past Hacktoberfests!
