I’m a DevOps engineer with git experience and in supporting software teams. How can I help in the development of Jerboa for Lemmy and for the fediverse in general? Should I learn the language and literally code, or can I groom the backlog, or so user testing?

    My recommendation is get an instance going, run it in that latest release candidate, if not the bleeding edge / build from source. Find and report issues. Since you are in DevOps, help expand the operational side / documentation.

    I had a PR yesterday to fix nginx config, which you could probably have done as well? Help other people with their instances, document solutions. There are lots of places where you can apply your set of skills, rather than trying to learn Rust and just write code

      Not sure what the implication is here, but have a hope that everyone maintain a growth mindset. I provided one skillset I have here, but have many others I didn’t list and am willing to learn.
