At my internship I used some open source tools to integrate into existing projects. It made me learn a lot about the process of collaboration and I contributed a bit on a library error message fix that someone beat me to it by 8 minutes. I also had to learn about the different open sources licenses and what it implies for a project. Open source is great because you have access to a lot of code that often use good practices.

I also had the chance to work with colleagues that have tons of experience in open source and who contribute a lot to open source projects or have their own. It really inspires me and hopefully I'll make some majore open source contributions.
