Hey hi author here, the title is misleading (or click bait, yes). Inside the article there's a nuance though between shopping for things to fix (first time contributions) and solving your own problem by offering solutions to the community. The obvious way is for sure to solve problems you already have, but if really you don't have any idea where to start and you still want to be in a community then it also exists and they are welcoming you. About the "open-source career" usage, it's about engaging with different communities than your regular job but that's how I phrase it. Thanks for the feedback still.
