10 - UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROGRESS THROUGH ISSUES IN THE PRIORITIZED BACKLOG AND ON ISSUE MAKING AND TEMPERATURE CHECK
Congrats on making it this far. Issues get more complicated from here, either they include more changes, or have several files to change or you have to research something that we are unsure how to do, or there is complicated logic that needs writing or rewriting. Each issue size that you take on will guide you to a more complicated level in sequence, and you can see from the labels and overviews what they are about.
Its important that you try to work on issues that fill in gaps in your knowledge (see the self tests for a reminder about what to look for).
So keep going, the fun stuff is about to start.
Having said that, we are also going to have you take on some issue making (surprise! There is no issue making fairy, only volunteers like you that created issues for the people that come after them). Pay attention to how the issues you have already worked on are constructed and how they change as they go up the ladder. That way when we start you on the issue making portion of the team work, you will know what you are shooting for when its your time to make issues.
Also, we want you on the Merge team. This will ensure you are a competent developer and an awesome collaborative contributor to any team you join in the future.
