Some difficulties don't seem quite right
After doing a fair few of these now, some difficulties don't seem quite right - perhaps it's just my incorrect opinion, but thought I'd put it out there anyway! As a few examples:
- Hacktoberfest (main t-shirt) is marked as hard, but in reality it's quite easy - even PR's to fix typos count, and they can even be on your own repositories. The PR's don't even need to be accepted either.
- Contrary to the above, the more specific Hacktoberfest t-shirts are generally a lot harder to get, as you often have to have a merged pull request on a repository constrained to those of a particular company. Most of these are marked as easier however (Nexmo in particular is rated as green, which doesn't seem right?)
- The Google Assistant t-shirt is rated as hard, but you can actually get it without doing any coding at all (you can use a spreadsheet template to produce a trivia skill with 50 questions in without touching any code, which might take a while, but certainly isn't difficult.)
I'm sure there's others that disagree, but thought I'd throw the thought out there - certainly not going to moan if you decide they're fine as is 👍
Thanks @berry120 for raising this issue. The classification criteria was definitely on the back of my mind but I never got around to formalize it.
- 5 meaningful PRs (keeping the spirit of open-source) should definitely be a hard task.
- Yes, Nexmo's green is not in line with other similar ones like that of Microsoft. This should be standardized (all green or all yellow).
- Getting users (for the Google Home) is the reason for classifying it as hard.
