Putting yourself out there and avoiding the "what ifs"
summary
Concrete examples of making opportunity: emailed out of the blue to the owner of a high-traffic site and helped migrate it to Drupal, started a local Drupal meetup where new connections led to job offers, and kept bothering until they said go away—persistent follow-up turns a lost application into an interview at Lullaby. Also: tweet a notable engineer for a quick site audit and get actionable praise, volunteer at camps and stand in the room center to meet people.
