If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I'd have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.

I'll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.

In case that wasn’t satire, please don’t 🥲 A small typo in a comment is not a big issue, and even if the PR is straightforward, a maintainer still has to take some time reviewing it, which takes time away from fixing actual bugs 😢

But think of the gains!

Simple changes require only simple reviews.

A better use of your time is to improve documentation. Developers generally hate documentation so it's often in need of improvement. Rewrite confusing sentences. Add tutorials that are missing. Things like that. You don't necessarily have to be a good developer or even understand the code of the project; you just have to have some knowledge of the project as an end user.
