I don’t think I’ve ever helped someone with a significant project.
(I also don’t think I’ve ever performed a project of my own that required more effort than running a D&D adventure.
I’m not sure if the moral is (1) I’m lazy, or (2) I’m optimizing for projects that don’t require high effort to get started.)
Question: what’s an example of a time when you found out about someone else’s project, thought it was awesome, put in more than an hour of effort helping them with it, and were happy with the result?
(This was at a time when it was more like “help out a friend with their project” than it was like “help out an institution”, which is meaningfully different. Although it was still a little bit like the latter)

In my case, helping out with the first Effective Altruism summit is the most salient example.
