Do I contribute to open source?

Seldom (<10 PRs merged)

Why?

- When I discover issues in an otherwise active library or starter, I fix them and submit a PR

- When I need a minor feature in a library and the codebase is readable

- When I study online courses, I submit PRs with notes and solutions to help others (and myself with motivation)

Why not?

- Because it's a thankless job (not getting paid for contributions)

- Because of lack of expertise
