Contributing to the Mozilla code base
I got interested in contributing to Firefox in the hopes that it would lead to a job.<p>My thought was since obviously I could do the job, then they would hire me without having to go through the usual interviewing steps.<p>Every time I have applied, I never got pass the recruiter. Never got a call to talk about my patches, just a generic rejection response.<p>Then I realized that I was spending too much effort on a single company, so I stopped contributing and applying. Seems leetcode grinding would be a higher reward for the effort.
