It genuinely made me wonder if my rust is already good enough to let me start lending a hand on Lemmy.
I've been practicing but my python/ruby/java/c++ keep interrupting my hello world comprehension self tests.
My advice would be to just go for it. If you find a bug and fix it or add a useful feature, it's absolutely worth submitting. And collaborating with other devs will help you grow your skills a lot faster.
Less skill improvement and more trivial pursuits. Lol
I've been a Lemmy user for a little while now and my perceived short comings of it are starting to irk me like other IT systems started irking me and fixing them will make me life easier.
I know from experience that once I attain a level of mastery that's sufficient to fix what I want to fix; then that level will stop increasing. :p
