What an incredibly well-articulated and honest account of contributing to open source. Your experience with Mocha.js perfectly highlights how essential practical skills like debugging and the often-underestimated value of CONTRIBUTING.md files truly are. It’s also a powerful reminder that "legacy" codebases offer some of the most impactful opportunities for contribution. Thanks for sharing this valuable perspective!
