I started this challenge with no to little expectation of how would it go and if I would even finish it. 4 pull requests later, here I stand in my new favorite thing, DEV, posting about a challenge I knew nothing about! got excited when my PR was merged, and that encouraged me to look into other issues. Also, the appreciations and the competition motivated me to do more.
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.
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.
Looking forward to get my hacktober badge over my GitHub :)
