Hi everyone, Thank you all for all your precious pieces of advice. I think I'm slowly going to have a look at the different possibilities to contribute to the Go language. As some of you noticed, I'm kind of more motivated when I think about helping in the go codebase than other sorts of tasks (though I don't think they're less valuable of course!)
Maybe I'm just going to create an account for contributing and see how it goes after that. Again, thank you everyone for your feedback and time. This is really appreciated! :D Le sam. 22 juin 2019 à 18:56, brainman <alex.brain...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Levieux, > > It is normal to doubt your abilities.
