Hi everyone. For those of you that are interested in getting into open source, and contributing to some larger projects, what is the biggest blocker for you? What do you find most difficult/annoying about contributing to open source projects? What needs to change to make it easier for you to contribute?

from other threads across reddit in the past, i have seen that the biggest reasons are usually related to codebase complexity, lack of time, and tedious PR review processes, but I would like to poll for opinions to see if that is still the case.
