    Honestly? It’s highly individualized.

    The best one is probably one that you already use and care about, and want to improve.

    Choosing some random project will not really provide motivation in learning the code base, figuring out how to implement a change, etc.

      exactly that. It’s about personal attachment of sorts. If you don’t feel passionate about it chances of you sticking around are slim. Depending on what your setup is - attempt to expand range of OpenSource tools you use daily, and in the process you may find tools that look great to you but lack function or polish or something else, so that would be the first “dive” and from there it would be easier to expand further
