Are the participants of Open Source projects ready to teach beginners?

Question

IT education

Please tell me, are the participants of Open Source projects ready to accept newcomers, with little or no experience in the field of the project? Are they ready to give newcomers tasks and how willingly? How do participants feel about pull requests from less experienced colleagues?

Answer 1

Not just ready, but constantly doing it. Even tedious questions are answered.
Although it depends on the community, when it splits up, part of the community helps, part trolling.

Answer 2

Not ready. This is an uninteresting and thankless task.

Answer 3

I'm ready, easily. (Mail in profile.)
I always try to answer questions about the code, if the questioner does not give the impression of an inanimate object.

Answer 4

Of course ready. Thousands of projects on Github are open for your pull request 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Answer 5

In my opinion, they are not ready for several reasons.
Firstly, if a young specialist has experience, then he may not be in the area in which the Open Source project is located.
Secondly, you need experience in creating Open Source projects. At least a little experience to have an idea what it is and what it is eaten with.
And thirdly, a young specialist may not like working (the team, the tasks themselves, or something else) and he may leave the company. Therefore, a waste of time and effort.
You need to be sure that the person likes this project and is happy with everything.
