So crazy enough, my first open source contribution was way before I was working on webpack. It was a weird Ruby gem, and I noticed a bug. So I put in an issue and the person said: Make a PR. So I googled "Make a PR", followed the steps and fixed it! XD
I guess sometimes I'm so blindly brave that contributions have never been scary to me. I always wear mistakes on my wrists so I think "wow this could be a great way to get mentorship from someone else even if I bomb it".

Thanks Sean. It's the scary part that keeps most of the people away from open source.
Exactly. I think the more we celebrate the mentality of failing as a growth opportunity. The more open source will thrive.
True :)
