How I found my way to contribute to OSS

Hi there!

I always wanted to contribute to OSS. I tried direct ways to do it, like Hacktoberfest, finding good-first-issues, reading contribution guides. Nevertheless, after a while I found that the best way to do it (for me) was to actually build something I was passionate about first, which naturally led to contributions.

tl;dr: Stop trying to force contributions. Start by solving your own problems, and the contributions will follow.

Curious about how did you started to contribute? Any fun stories around that?
