From Codegen to your first PR in Core
summary
Walkthrough of Codegen shows the actual claim: unify parsers and remove duplication so generated native bindings stay in sync with JS. Concrete numbers and tools appear — 27k commits, 1.3M weekly downloads, 54 test suites and ~2500 tests; fork the repo, run yarn, use Jest --watch to iterate, follow the branch naming convention, run linters/prettier and land through CircleCI. Contribution workflow is explicit: comment to claim an umbrella-task, make small PRs (single-digit to few dozen lines), fill the changelog template, and CI verifies before merge.
