Finding a typo in an open source project and submitting that one-character fix is the modern developer's spiritual awakening. Nothing quite matches that rush of dopamine when your PR gets merged and suddenly your GitHub profile shows you've "contributed" to Linux. Sure, you just changed a semicolon to a colon, but technically, that kernel now has your digital fingerprints on it. Achievement unlocked: Imposter syndrome temporarily disabled.
