Contributing is such a wonderful way to give back to the community. And isn't it heartwarming to know that a contribution you have made, regardless how small, is then being integrated into something that is used by dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of people?

That's a little way to leave a mark on this planet, and possibly improve the life of people.

It is really good when I'm already using something, so I contribute to it because there's something I wanna fix or add.

But when I'm feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can't help because I don't wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.
