Thanks, breh. Why do you say "maybe Javascript"? That's the language I currently know.
After getting this backend under my belt, I was planning to learn python, but I notice you didn't mention that one.

Even though you can use it for back end development, I normally don't see it in job postings as the desired language. It won't hurt your chances though.

because javascript (and even python) are not "traditional" languages and do not lend themselves to large scale enterprise development.
that is why typescript exists. google have angular for similar reasons.
(if you were going to write a blockchain you wouldn't "normally" use js.. or if you wrote a database, a cache, a network interface, etc etc you would not use js).
python does a better job of it than javascript.

server-side js development exists but is normally tied directly to web/GUI front-end activity. you see this with node / jquery / react and more generally server-side javascript.
mosh is probably teaching you react. i did his react course a while ago.
also never forget that js is an abomination and is crap 
Have any of you created a fork/PR for an open source github project? I found and corrected an issue with one in my local environment, but I'm a little nervous about creating a PR. I don't want to break things for other people.
What things should I keep in mind when contributing?

I tried to branch off a dudes work before but I had to create a fork because his repo was locked down. It felt messy but meh, I was able to create the PR from the fork. As long as you branch or fork from master, or whatever their main development branch is, you won't mess anything up. Double check that your PR is only affecting the files you changed, then submit
Did your PR have to pass any unittests?I tried to branch off a dudes work before but I had to create a fork because his repo was locked down.

That particular submission no, it was just a lone developer. I've submitted code to a Linux Foundation project and that was a bit more involved because of the tools they used. For that one, your changes got unit tests ran against them and obviously wouldn't move forward without passing. Then you needed a maintainer to approve your changes as well.
If the project doesn't have any contribution guidelines then you're in the clear. Follow their standards as best you can, and if something looks like it needs improving, do that. In that Linux Foundation contribution the code was severely lacking in comments explaining how things were working, so I spent a good amount of time making sure there was meaningful comments on everything added in my module. Be the change you wanna see and all.

you can copy the source branch and apply your fork fix to that first to see if there are any clashes/fails.
you can do this on the command line. or copy into your own "test" GitHub account and do the merge via the GUI.
saying that you can never be 100% sure that your changes won't clash with changes that someone else is currently making.

. Often times I don't branch and commit until I'm satisfied on my local machine.

So they accepted my counter and I'm signing the letter tomorrow. I'm excited 
OAN... I remember when I first started learning and I ran across this story of the making of Crash Bandicoot. I ran back across it today and it's a really interesting story, brehs. It's a good read:
