Keep in mind that many people also contribute to big open source projects just because they believe it will look good ok their CV/GitHub and help them get a job. They don't care about helping anyone, they just want to write "contributed to Ghostty" in their application.
I think this falls under the "have no shame" comment that they made
It's worse. Some of them are required to contribute to an existing project of their choice for some course they're taking.
From my experience, it's not about helping anyone or CV building. I just ran into a bug or a missing feature that is blocking me.
