I'm one contribution in and I've already found it to be fulfilling! I have a long story of using open source software (mostly in IT), but the idea of contributing.. well it seemed impossible to be honest, and it hadn't even really occurred to me that I should! My passion for writing code has been re-ignited in the last couple years and a co-worker had suggested Hacktoberfest to me... and it's been like a rocket thruster for motivation. Thanks for the great post!
