My first accepted pull request

Have you ever made a contribution to open-source software?

If not, you really should.

It’s not hard.

I’m not sure when I made my first contribution to open source, but GitHub tells me about my first accepted pull request back in 2014. It was just a small fix:

-#/usr/bin/perl -w
+#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 #
 #
 my $version = "0.1";
