I did open source contributions during my final year. Had no intentions of GSoC. I contributed in Zulip React Native project. All of my contributions got merged. 
  
 Also, none of contributions were README changes. If you know what I mean 😉. But after job its very hard to take out time and contribute. But recently I’ve been thinking to restart again, but this time some different project.

Projects Under Zulip organisation are great. Was recently contributing to their Flutter project. Zulip community is awesome, helped me alot to get started with their project.

Software Developer

Can we do open source, while working in some company ?

Found something interesting when I was in school. Reported some things and fixed bugs.

Technically I haven’t started the Open source.  
  
 I generally open source my useless projects to share few pocs or for blogs.  
 Sometimes share the errors/feedbacks via issues.  
  
 But have contributed alot for my past company open github projects.

Could someone please explain how to start up with open source contribution.

Open Source Contribution

My last post (share.gvine.app/W6sQvon7d7H2qau89) saw a lot of opinions & criticism from many members in the community. For anyone who is offended by any of my comments, I truly apologize. Given the fact that some folks asked for constructive pointers, I decided to pen this down. 

These are just a set of points that I think would benefit some of you (not all!) in the long run:

- Speak at conferences & meet-up — We have definitely seen a boom of them in India. A lot of folks continue to miss out on them for various reasons. If you are working on some exciting stuff, go ahead and submit a proposal for an upcoming meetup. Trust me, this is definitely something that you can use to actually build your personal brand.

- Build some projects: Last month, I had to start taking interviews for the India team. I noticed the lack of projects, with many mentioning what they built during their college/interview assignments. Many complain that most of their work is proprietary, but it won't be bad to do a weekend hack around something they are passionate about.

- Contribute to open-source: For some folks, this might sound almost cliche! Anyone who gets to contribute to any noticeable project today, will open a box of opportunities. I have known dozens of devs by now, who started contributing (out of passion?) and went ahead to work on impactful projects (while making good money!). 

- Seek interesting problems: A lot of devs I have interacted with have not sought companies, but problems! One of our competitors saw their investor join them as a part-time engineer (yes, he loves to code!). Builders always have this mindset to build — Luckily we have so many programs today that inculcate this.

There are plenty of more ideas! The utmost emphasis for any SDE would be to become a Professional (with a capital P), become a craftsperson and take pride in your work! If you can't show anything substantial, your entire career building would be non-serious with sole purpose of money-making!

Constructive feedback for Indian SDEs to go beyond average!

I felt like doing this AMA since, recently, students and experienced folks are being lured by 'paid' open-source courses. Feel free to ask any questions without paying any $$$. I won't respond to questions which could potentially dox me though.

P.S. I know the post title is cringy, but I couldn't think of anything better ATM.

Want to create some open-source software. If anyone can guide me how to start building the community or some basic knowhow of building from any prior knowledge, then that would be very helpful. I have decent amount of experience but not in developing oss.

TIA

Need some help around open source software

I've just launched Git Begin, a web app that helps developers find their first open-source issues to work on.

What Git Begin does:
• Finds "good first issues" on GitHub
• Filters by programming language, project stars, and other criteria
• Covers various fields: Web Dev, Mobile Dev, Data Science, ML, DevOps, Cybersecurity, and Documentation
• Lets you bookmark issues for later
• Works in light or dark mode

I built Git Begin with Remix.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. It's designed to work well on both desktop and mobile.

Senior Software Engineer

Are you guys contributing to open source? Are there any good open source projects specially in Spring Boot. 

Also Open source contribution gives me an edge over others in interviews?

Open source contribution!!

Hey Folks, I'm a software engineer with around 2yoe. My goal for this year is to get very good at tech (frontend and Backend). Currently I'm a Frontend Engineer working with React.

I've selected Golang for the backend in order to create software.

I want to start participating by the end of this year and next in many hackathons. I tried searching on Google but there are a lot of fake sites giving 0 information regarding this.

How do I find where hackathons are happening in and around the city?

How to find hackathons in Bengaluru?

Has anyone got a job here through open source contributions, if yes then how?

Jobs with Open Source

I had this idea in mind, that many of us either want to learn something new or create our own product but we either don't have the time or consistency to learn or no time to build huge products alone.

So I'm proposing this, why don't we software Engineers of all experience levels come together and build communities where if someone wants to learn SpringBoot Backend or React Frontend or whatever the stack is, they come along and start working on a product and learn along the way.

To help them, experienced software Engineers come along and if they want they work on it and help the people and guide them with the best practices.

In the case of experienced folks, let's say they decide on several products and we divide the teams based on the expertise and start working on them.

What do we get in return?

Better networking, experience and maybe a few good startups which are built by
us, and they succeed at a product level.


Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to mentor, learn or want to build a product but they don't have people to do that.

Who all are invited?

Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Director of Engineering, CTOs and others. Sr folks to help the community.

Let's say we decide on 5 products, make a roadmap on how we want to work and within a year we release these products in the market and maybe maybe we get to work on our own company rather than from others.

if not, then also good karma and networking will be done which will be helpful for this tough time ahead of us.

Today's Junior engineers will be Senior engineers of tomorrow.  Today's Senior engineers will be a great part of management of tomorrow.

Let's build real software and change the way we learn things and do great engineering and learn a lot and earn from the products as well.

Thanks 🙏🏻

For the engineers, by the engineers.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

want to build my startup with small team of 4,5 peoples
, I am a fullstack developer 1Yoe suggestions/Guidelines please .

Want to build my startup vs job.

Use the best talent for free for their own purpose,

Not sure how many generations will take a hit due to fb/insta mental menace

This is why I don't like zucks products, the hidden agenda is 😓

I will share the next resource/paper when this post hits 100 likes.

I was talking to my friend who is doing his PhD. from University of Maryland, College Park and I asked him what should a new learner of Statistics learn so that they can add value to their job from Day 1.

He suggested me this book that he learnt initially from. I went through this book in the entirety of last year, and started to contribute more. I even started working on open-source datasets and contributed to several papers in leading journals.

If you want to get ahead in your AI career, you should learn all of what the book contains.

This book is appropriate for anyone who wishes to use contemporary tools for data analysis...

Analyst

I haven’t contributed to open source once so far. I have 5 yrs of work experience in ML engineering. 
I have this FOMO for not contributing

1) Will this affect my future career prospects?

2) In order to join product companies (both FAANG & Startups) do I have to have open source contributions? 

3) If I were to contribute how should I tell recruiters about it (should I mention it in my resume and how should I mention it)

Please share your thoughts

Folks contributing to Open Source, how did you start?
