Original Summary

I've been building a tool to help people contribute to open source, so before launching I asked developers what actually stops them. The top answers surprised me: "It's a new codebase and maybe a new language. Finding the bug alone takes forever." "After my first 2 PRs I felt I'd achieved something, so I stopped." "I'm not willing to learn a whole codebase for free on top of my job." Almost nobody said "I can't write the fix." The real problem is understanding the codebase and staying consistent. So I'm building MergeMate. It matches open issues to your skills from your resume, explains the relevant part of the codebase and how to fix the issue step by step, and helps you keep a steady contribution habit. You still review and submit the PR yourself, so you actually understand what you shipped. Launching in a few days. Honest question: would this be useful to you, or does it feel like cheating?   submitted by   /u/Special_Hall_3044 [link]   [comments]
