Ask HN: How do I contribute to open-source projects

This has been bothering me a lot for quite some time now, whenever I use open source products I can't help but feel bad for not doing anything to help improve the product I use or any other open-source projects which are alive thanks to people spending their time for free.

I want to contribute in code, but I always feel like I am not good enough, or that it would take a long time before I submit my first piece of code to a project.

How did you get in to contributing to open source? Is it possible to contribute to a project that's been there for a long time? if so, what does it take for someone to contribute in code?
