Just got my first pull request merged

... Yea, that's more or less it.

I've been programming as a hobbyist (and some school) for the past decade and have never been too keen on making PRs to open source projects due to mostly my own anxieties/paranoia/whatever.

But this has seemingly softened as I've learned more Rust and slowly discovered that no, most open source maintainers aren't gods amongst men who will declare 'skill-issue' 0.24 seconds after opening a PR.

Rust projects not descending into a pit of C++ macros and weird conventions is also tremendously helpful.
