What I Learned From Hacktoberfest
How did I come to know about Hacktoberfest 2020?
This was the first time I participated in the Hacktoberfest event. And also the contributions I made were my initial ones. Though I had heard about open source and its vastness, but on making 11 PRs out of which 3 got rejected and labelled spam, I reconsidered my decision of planning for open source contribution anytime in future but not today.
Current Scenario
After all this and seemingly forgetting about hacktoberfest and my PRs, I resolved to first gain skills. But it was today morning when I received a mail of having completed the HacktoberFest 2020. And that made me yet again rethink about learning by contributing to real projects and not just watching tutorials.
HacktoberFest 2020 :-
Conclusion
- This had been my first contributions to open source
- First time participation in the Hacktoberfest(or any such event or challenge for that matter)
- First Blog on DEV platform And hope to continue now that I have started this journey.
