Also, the appreciations and the competition motivated me to do more.</p> <p>Above all else, my participation is Hacktoberfest'20 has made me a better developer with a greater desire to contribute. I’ve seen that there is room in these projects for new contributors.</p> <p>Contributing to projects is a great way to improve your skills, gain confidence and practice coding. While finding the right project may take a bit of searching, it will be well worth your while.</p> <p>Looking forward to get my hacktober badge over my GitHub :)</p> opensource hacktoberfest github
