Good First Issue
Anyone can prompt. Few can ship.
Find beginner-friendly issues, get reviewed by real maintainers, build the portfolio AI can't fake.
Why Now
Proof matters more when code is easy to generate.
AI can generate code, summaries, and polished portfolios on demand. It cannot fake the public record of choosing real work, responding to review, and shipping something useful in the open.
Good First Issue helps new developers find beginner-friendly issues where every merged pull request becomes evidence: a problem understood, a maintainer conversation handled, and a real contribution shipped.
