> The best way to learn is to do. Nothing beats the feeling of your first commit in the new project- be it a bug fix, a small feature enhancement, documentation improvements, etc. I think this one is huge and helps to have a reinforcing effect on a lot of the other concerns. As long as you feel like you're actively contributing something, even minor documentation fixes, it can stave off a lot of imposter syndrome as you mentally accumulate "achievement capital" and confidence. It also naturally brings you into contact with other team members and gets questions out into the open.
