Hi HN! I would like to share a blog post i've wrote about Open Source contributions.

We know all about the README edits debacle. But I felt I needed to express myself regarding how to actually approach contributing.

Full disclosure in case it wasn't obvious: the blog post has edits made by a ChatGPT extension called Blog Writer. But I will defend that the initial 60% was comprised of my disorganized ramblings, because those contained my raw thoughts.

I'd love some critique, any constructive criticism is immensely appreciated. Have a wonderful day.
