I program in C and python, and even good first issue problems seem like I have to be Dennis Ritchie himself to solve them. How do I know when I’m ready to solve and commit to projects?

    Eh, excellent code still gets discussed. Your approach might be unique and they haven’t thought of it before. Or you may have perfectly suitable code, but it doesn’t consider other parts of the project that you’re not familiar with. Discussion isn’t an indication of bad code, unless the only thing being discussed are mistakes.

      That would be amazing, when your submission cause to improve the entire code base quality!
