Do you contribute to open source projects? How do you find good

I mainly do it through work.
When I use an open source project in my project, I may need to add a feature or correct a flaw or something.
Spending time to fix it in the project is usually slow and it takes more time to research than something I make on my own, but I know it makes sense to fix it this way as it helps other people who are also using it.

I should be helping more projects but I don't have the time.

If that's your only motivation then you can fuck right off. I fucking hate PR spammers that just want to add another project to their portfolio.
Just chose something you really care about and use every day. Even if it takes you weeks to understand the code.

Look through the apps you have installed, see which ones are open source, see their git repos, see the issues, fix those issues.

I am fixing bugs that I encounter and can solve, there is not a single particular project.

By the way, I would suggest getting gud instead of beefing up your GitHub profile, that stuff is for seniors. If you write something highly unimpressive in your CV you will just make the people screening you lose time.

easiest way is to add tests to a projects. for example, if you know java and you often use/heard of apache commons libraries, run their tests with coverage mode enabled to see which lines are not covered in the tests, then add tests to cover those lines

second easiest option is to look through github issues/project jira and see if there are any simple bugs/features you can add. (ie Clover)

I don't contribute to other peoples' projects but I do open source my own when I feel like it.

I'm not a good enough programmer to make any contributions of substance to anything I use.

Contributing to open source just to contribute to open source is pretty cucked imho.

If you need a feature, build the feature, then contribute.
