Hello folks!

I was going to post my blog post on Reddit and I discovered Lemmy :) It seemed like a warmer place so I just post it there!

In this blog post I wrote about my experience as a first-time maintainer and a first-time participant of Hacktoberfest. In the future, I am seriously considering contributing to Bevy and/or Lemmy!

Nice that someone's happy about it. As a long time open source contributor and maintainer, I gave up this year because it's gone downhill.

Gave up being a contributor and maintainer?

I still do both (and did before), but now just don't bother with Hacktoberfest.

Hacktoberfest always seemed a bit gimmicky, but it seemed to help, so I never say anything.

It's cool that you continue to contribute on your own!
