Beginner- Starting off

[Mihir Shah]

Hello,

I was interested in contributing to this repo, could you please give me some recommendations on any bugs/issues I should work on first?

I am a beginner (this is my first experience with open-source), I have some experience with compiler development, a little with systems work.

Thank you,

-Mihir

You can take a look at this list: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/list?q=label%3AHelpWanted&can=2.

If you're already interested in some particular issue, then that's also a nice way to get started.

Please be aware that contributing to V8 tends to have a rather long and steep ramp-up curve, because it's a large and complex codebase. The first couple of weeks of working on it probably won't feel very productive. If you were hoping for the occasional week-end/free-time contribution, you may have more fun with a smaller/simpler project.
