Got my first Bitcoin Core pull request approved today. Pretty eye-opening experience, honestly. Most of what surprised me wasn't about the code itself—it's how the whole contribution system actually operates behind the scenes. Let me break down what caught me off guard about contributing to Bitcoin's open source ecosystem.

ngl, the feeling of having my first PR merged is really different. I thought it would be a purely technical task, but it turns out community governance is the real black box.

Honestly, the first PR approval was quite exciting, but it sounds like the process is much more complicated than writing code itself... That's probably the style of the BTC community.

Passed the first Bitcoin Core PR review, and it felt much more complicated than expected. The code review process is really outrageous.

The core code has been merged, but the real gameplay is in the subsequent review process... After research and analysis, this mechanism design is indeed profound.
