The Day of My First Open-Source Contribution

This Friday called for a small celebration! For the first time in my professional career, I opened a PR in a major open-source repository – and it was approved and merged! 🎉

Now, let’s be honest: it was the tiniest contribution possible. I fixed a single missing character in the docs for the List.sort function. You really can’t go smaller than that — unless someone figures out how to commit whitespace.

But it is still a moment to be proud of. It was my genuine finding when I was learning how to use F#, and creating a proper PR for such a big repository is a good exercise by its own!

Now I can officially call myself as .NET / F# contributor 😏
