I agree with @b2plane .
It takes a while to familiarize yourself with the project structure, code style, patterns used. When I was tuning a foss trading platform it took me a few days to start thinking like the project author[s] did to make sense of any of it. And only then did I manage to boost its performance by over 30%.
Am I too dumb if I do not understand good-first-issues on open source projects? I mean, I completed C++ Primer book. Tried to find a real world challenges to use my knowledge.
I look at those issues but I really can understand em, when they belong to a project with tens of modules etc. Maybe good-first-issue is for people who spends 20 hours just to understand project, before writing a single line of code.
