As a hiring manager, I used to want to see a profile that competed with my own (at the time).

Now I've learned that (1) burnout is real, (2) work CAN be intellectually stimulating enough to not create that OSS desire, and (3) eventually your job ends at 5 and life takes over.

With that said, I WISH more developers opened issues on the projects they've used.

All too often I've seen people drop one dependency for another due to an edge-case.

Even a simple issue explaining the problem, providing a test case or sample code would be great as an indicator to how a developer approaches problems and seeks help.

Tangential, but I wish I had the ability to rename GitHub issue titles on other people's projects, or that at least the maintainers would do this. There's too many "Help thing no work plz assist" that needs to be renamed to a useful description of the problem.

I have had good luck with this approach. I keep my fork but usually the main line fixes. Also I learn about cool CI stuff and obscure platforms I don't worry about naturally.
