Open Source is not only writing code 🙅‍♂️🧑‍💻

Contributing to open source goes far beyond writing code. Six non-code contribution categories are outlined: documentation (README files, blog posts, StackOverflow answers, translations), project management (triaging GitHub issues, linking duplicates, reproducing bugs), awareness (workshops, meetups, talks), design (UML diagrams, architecture visualizations), code-related work that isn't features or bugfixes (code reviews, internal tooling, test coverage), and non-software repositories like awesome lists covering books, gaming, and business topics.
