I really fancy the idea of contributing to open source projects. But like every year on the non-October months, I am really great at avoiding sitting down and coding a feature for a lib I love. (wondering if that's just me ¯\(ツ)/¯ ) It's not something that I am proud of, but the GitHub contribution grid is great at confirming it.
Because of that, I am really grateful for the Hacktoberfest event. It's been the third time that it has given me a long needed push to do something for the community. It helped me finally make a pull request for an issue that was months old. Finally, I could create a feature that I could use in my project, feel the thrill of an issue hunt, raise issues that could improve projects. I'm happy that I did it.
And I am happy that I did it.
Big props to DigitalOcean who started it five years ago, and to the many other companies who joined it for the greater good.

P.s It's is my first post, how did I do?
