One important thing to dispel about open source is the idea that good contributions are about galaxy-brain level PRs. Contributions can happen at all level, from non-technical to technical, from reporting issues to opening PRs to solve them. And when it comes to PRs, the gamut is large: writing documentation, adding test coverage, suggesting micro-fixes or refactors are all good and valuable ways to contribute. As you contribute more to a given project, you become more acquainted with the lay of the land, which in turn opens up more opportunities to contribute to open problems. Long story short: contributions don't have to be complex and deeply technical to be valuable, and you gotta start somewhere. Pick a project you're interested in or look for issues needing attention (for example, via `Good First Issue` labels on Github), try something out and have a chat with more active maintainers. They'll show you the ropes and get you started!
