Hello everybody,

So this is another post on how can I start on contributing to open souce projects... I've went through some of previous posts, recommended sites, tips but I felt a bit overwhelmed.

I have some background as a software developer in the industry (not much, around 3+ years) using C#/.NET but then decided to do a master degree in AI (before LLMs got popularised lol) and started using mostly python since around 4+ years ago, i still have much to learn... but still I belive helping others projects will help me improve my skills and understanding...

I never contributed before because I thought i never capable of (impostor syndrom? Maybe).

I just don't know where to start, of course the steps can be: pick a project that needs help, understand the problem and codebase, code away and practice.

I've seen there are some repos that add tags as "good first issue"... but I guess I’d love to know how y'all broke through that initial "impostor syndrome" (if you had it)... and found your very first project, I feel old and rusty with LLMs... but I'd love to help with AI tools, applications or similar things.

Hello,

I'm looking for someone to practice my Italian, I would say I'm between B1 and B2, I lived in Italy for few years and I just don't want forget what I learned and practiced while aiming to improve.

I also started to learn German, not so long ago but would love to conect now, I can help you in the languages I already know in the mean time!

I can offer English (I guess I'm a level C1? Not sure haha but I've been speaking it for more than 15 years and lived abroad in +3 countries lol) and Spanish (Native).

I know life gets busy but would love to be constant (:

I'm 33M, very social in person. I enjoy several things, from gardening, music, drawing, boardgames, hiking, traveling, videogames, movies, manga, you name it... a fresh hobby of mine that I got into this year is cooking.

I'm looking for someone that we could trade messages, doesn't have to be daily (life gets busy) but would love to be constant (:
