Thank you Peter for sharing your experience. I agree with you the earlier the better. The few contributions that I have had helped me learn a few things such as

  • how to be more effective at code reviews
  • some best practices around code coupling
  • unit testing
  • Learned a few things when implementing the RFC 8414 and Clear-Site-Data specification
  • Some things about the Spring Security and Spring Boot

It's definitely a great benefit to be in a company and accompany of those who appreciate and support you to contribute to open source.

All in all, there are a good amount of learning opportunities.
