You are only a Kontributor when Its a KDE repository.
Typing characters is maybe 1% of the job. The other 99% is understanding how the change affects everything else. Changing a single line of code in a function called by 1000 other functions each themselves called in 10 other functions can still potentially be more work and a bigger change than changing 9000 lines of code in a function called once.
I knew a guy who boasted about the number of repositories he created on Github. Said he created over four thousand.
I took a look. He did in fact sit down and create over 4,000 different, unique repositories. Each with a README and some slight variation on a few lines of code. That’s some kind of dedication, I guess?
Maybe he automated it?
And maybe he published it on GitHub?
That’d be funny. Seeing
mass-repo-creatorand then 4000 random repositories below it.
Was he a Go developer before generics? Published 4000 versions of the library, one for each type.
No, it was mostly short bash/python/php scripts.
I once fixed a bug in credit card payment form because someone had gotten some formatting character screwed up and used a capital M in some place where a lower case m should have been. Since it was a payment system they couldn’t take payment for a while whilst that was screwed up. I was contracting there and happened to notice it. Sometimes all it takes is one character.
When they reject your PR because you still managed to slip in a bug
If it involves pointers, not unlikely.
