Excellent article indeed. I have an ETL open source project I have been looking to grow and would be more than happy to get some help and mentor junior developers looking to learn about ETL, PHP, R, and other technologies: github.com/TheCocoTeam/source-watc...
That looks great, Jean Paul! And thanks for offering help and mentorship to junior devs out there, it means a lot. I know I would hate my job today if it wasn't for the amazing senior developers who've supported me throughout my journey.

Wonderful article. Inspiring. I am now sure that I can contribute to open source, thanks to your testimony!

Hmm yes, that was a tricky one to figure out. I just did a GitHub search for my favourite language, Ruby, and then spent lots and lots of time looking at the results, their readme files, their issues etc. But I've recently found out that you can just search for a tag, say 'beginner-friendly', then filter by 'Topics' and language, and voila: github.com/search?l=JavaScript&q=b... - plenty of repos to look through. Good luck!
Love it this is a great article on overcoming one's barrier to contribute to open source.
Nice!
This was motivation enough for me to continue learning coding, something I've only dived into recently. Thanks for the article!
Thanks for the article.
