I once fixed a bug in credit card payment form because someone had gotten some formatting character screwed up and used a capital M in some place where a lower case m should have been. Since it was a payment system they couldn’t take payment for a while whilst that was screwed up. I was contracting there and happened to notice it. Sometimes all it takes is one character.

Typing characters is maybe 1% of the job. The other 99% is understanding how the change affects everything else. Changing a single line of code in a function called by 1000 other functions each themselves called in 10 other functions can still potentially be more work and a bigger change than changing 9000 lines of code in a function called once.

In my developer career, the littlest commit I did was the removal of a single ‘;’ which was causing a wonderful to debug bug ;)

    Yeah I suppose it's more than a "minor problem". Still feels weird making such a small PR lol.

    I saw the other day a profile full of PRs, all diffs were changes from passing code through an autoformater.

    And your typo fix kickstarts 10 workflows, downloading gigabytes of data and running endless tests.

    Depending on the size of the project, this may be an environmental concern.

    When your PR to replace one line of code actively contributes to climate change.

    Using legacy SI units for size of information is deprecated, they only bring confusion, instead use IEC/binary units like GiB (gibibyte). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    Most of my PRs are fixing typos in the Readmes 8) It ain’t much, but it’s honest work

    You are only a Kontributor when Its a KDE repository.

    When they reject your PR because you still managed to slip in a bug

    If it involves pointers, not unlikely.
