I feel like I have a lot of people to ask here...
So how do I actually find my way into contributing to open source software projects (especially go)? I only have experience with my own projects so far, and getting into others codebases seems so daunting?? And so does finding good issues.
I tried a few times during the last few years but never managed to find a good starting point.

I'd appreciate any tips :BoostOK:

Today's legacy technology stacks:

FTP for data transfer (yes FTP, not SFTP or FTP over TLS)

32 bit operating systems

Operating systems that don't enable Address space layout randomisation

XML manipulation (feels legacy as it can't be mapped nicely to data structures)

Fortunately Go has an FTP module, and with the right options I can write a Makefile that produces separate binaries to cope with 32/64 bit and no ASLR.
