> I had a great experience with Hacktoberfest last year.
Yeah same here, but as a contributor. I decided I wanted to make my PRs count and decided on a targeted effort of taking one mans tiling WM for Windows[1] and fixing enough of the stability issues and race-conditions I found to the point where I should be able to use it myself.
Not a single one of those PRs was “cheap”, and the resulting improvements in quality and stability has lead that WM now to seemingly have more users and doing better than it used to.
Yeah I got a t-shirt. But I also got a tiling WM which is actually usable the times Im forced to use Windows too, which I kinda value more.
So clearly win win, as far as both I and that project-owner is concerned.
