Best reason to contribute to open source: genuine love for the product

The author argues that the best reason to contribute to open source is simply that you genuinely love the product. You use it, care about it, see things that could be better, and want to improve them. The real value lies in working on real problems with real users and trade-offs, and observing how great engineers think, design, and debug.
