It has been more than 500 days for me in Open Source.
I've answered 35+ discussions on GitHub (actively participated in 300+), successfully merge...

This took me a long time to write, and a little stressing too.
But for me, Life is Open Source.
Open source is bigger than you think.
Open source is more exciting than you think.
Open source community is more supportive than you think.
Take the leap and explore open source.
Who knows who might DISCOVER you?
By the way, I was thinking.
I should apply to be a freecodecamp writer!
Wish me luck :)
Hey man, i have been contributing in open source for a quite while now and i could really say that things might be different if i had such a guide in beginning but i would suggest your article to everyone whoever is interested in FOSS area .
Btw, i was quite busy in my personal life for while, any suggestion or project you are working on i can jump on ?
Thank you very much for writing a great article! I wasn't aware of the importance of a license when contributing.
I was always saying that contributing to open source was one of the things I would like to do someday. Now, I think of it, I may have considered that only developing new features and fixing bugs were contributing. I've realized that what I've done like asking questions and reporting issues that I encountered were also contributing. I am still surprised that a question that I posted 3 years ago still has been getting comments. I have learned a lot of things from your post. 👍
Absolutely! Everything you do, even when you're not creating an issue, matters. Whether it's through asking questions or being part of discussions, that's still a valuable contribution.
What I believe is: No contribution is small, and we're all part of one big community.
Yes, when I started, I only used MIT and wasn't even aware much about that. But as we grow, understanding licenses becomes important and worth it!
Thanks a lot! You made my day :D
It's really great and covers almost everything. Thanks for sharing, Anmol!
Thanks so much!
I admire you for your work in open source.
Let's keep rocking in open source 🤘
Thank you, Anmol!
I get a little upset when I realized that I should have spent more time studying and developing, and not partying. thank you for the material that helps you develop yourself
I get it! Believe me.
But it isn't wrong to party. Create your own lifestyle and choices.
Comparing yourself to others isn't the right thing. You should know there are lots of factors involved in the growth.
I don't like studying at all. Not even a bit. 🤣 Even though I'm a topper :D
Unless it can help with building products (like a new framework).
Gladly! Anytime.

This is difficult for me to understand, but it was interesting to read for general development
Hi! @klimd1389
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
What parts of the post were challenging for you to understand?
I will update the post as soon as I can, if you can give me a detailed feedback.
If you could also share your experience level with open source, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

This is an awesome article! Thank you a lot for that work.
