  • Delighted to see my pull requests (PRs) merged into the main repositories.
  • Guided 31 students in their Hacktoberfest journey.
  • 18 of my mentored students got all their pull requests (PRs) merged, a truly rewarding experience.

• Challenges:

  • Faced difficulties where some issues seemed insurmountable.

This month has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with both achievements and challenges in the open-source world.

Growth

Before Hacktoberfest 2023, my skillset was solid, but it has improved significantly over the course of this event. I've gained a deeper understanding of version control, collaboration, and project management. These experiences have not only enhanced my technical skills but also shifted my career goals towards a more open-source and community-driven path. I'm excited to continue contributing and learning in the world of open source.
