First off, great story. Inspirational and some great suggestions on how to get involved in open source for those who haven't, like myself!
I have a similar (but not as cool story). I've been been running a personal blog for a few years but I'm not a frequent writer by any means. I take pride in posting quality content about topics that I have expertise on and ensure my articles are very thorough. For me, it was just a fun past-time and opportunity to share my knowledge with the larger developer community, until one day when a content manager from Logrocket.com found me. Although I didn't have a ton of blog posts in my portofolio, I believe what I had caught his eye because of quality. Since then I have been writing for the LogRocket blog and getting paid to do so. It's been a blast so far!
