Beyond Hacktoberfest: Building a True Open Source Journey Hacktoberfest is almost over. How has your contribution journey been so far? Are you confident about...

I see the Hacktoberfest trend: some contributors only show up for the PR count, then never come back.

I wrote this post because the real journey and growth in open source happen when you stay long after the event is over.

How I Built a Curated, Automated Open Source Portfolio I've been on a continuous journey in open source since 2020. First, as a contributor, and for the...

I was super skeptical of AI and didn't know much about APIs. But my manual OSS tracking was getting nowhere. 😅

So, I tried vibe coding for the first time on vacation and built a fully automated open source portfolio using just my smartphone! 😄

When I created my GitHub account a few years ago, the handles that I wanted were taken.

Lately, I have the itch to change it to be the same as my social handles, but I'm afraid if I don't do it right, it will cause trouble bc I'm still actively contributing 😅

I work with Gitpod for the 1st time today. I created a branch, made all changes, added & committed them. Then, my browser crashed. When I opened it again, my working branch was gone! 😭

Does anyone understand why it happened & if there's any way I can find/safe my branch?

Moving our Virtual Coffee Community Docs to Docusaurus is not as straightforward as I thought. 😅

It's mainly bc the structures & contents are intended to be read on GH repo only.

I encountered many errors every time I ran it. But I've learned a lot & I love it! ✨️🥰

I allowed my kid to use my phone to google for DIY tutorials.

She was like, "Mom! Do you know that you're famous??? I googled your name. There are so many pictures & websites about you!"

Then she jumped & gave me the biggest hug in the world. I just couldn't stop smiling. 🥰

I'm working with Docusaurus.

I ran `git restore .` more than 10x, and I have 20+ tabs open to debug within almost 5 hours (even though it's not working yet)! 🤣

This is what I missed all this time. The excitement of problem solving and learning something new. ✨️
