@sortedcord Same thing my post after this one is about XD many newcomers download AI tools and think open source is a game ,merged PRs are score.

I think a majority of the OS contribs I see coming from Indian developers completely miss the spirit. You shouldn't be contributing just to put it on your resume or chase that $$. You should contribute cuz you've used the thing, care about it, and want to make it better.

@TheArnabSaha yeah bruh touch some grass

Should I do it??

Do you remember when you joined X? now i do lol #2yearswithElonMusk

@elonmusk @RomanGuy20 @Teslaconomics @SpaceXAI exactly

@RomanGuy20 @Teslaconomics @SpaceXAI Their zero data retention policy fine print says they still retain data? Am I reading this right?

We care deeply about your privacy and respect customer choice. For teams using zero data retention, no trace and code data is ever retained. All API key use of Grok Build also respects ZDR. If ZDR is disabled, the /privacy command is available in the CLI to disable data retention, which also deletes previously synced data. Run the /privacy command to view or change your settings at any time.

@16_shazeb Depends on his much time you have daily. Most of the people I work with spend 12+ hours on programming

@badnikhill Bro how much time one should give to any project..?

The GSoC advice pipeline: 1. Never get selected for GSoC 2. Post “How to crack GSoC” content 3. Tell everyone to “start early” 4.Refuse to elaborate I got selected for GSoC 2026. Let’s talk about what actually works. #GSoC2027 #OpenSource

@Apurve_Karanwal Fs

@badnikhill i wish aap select ho jaao is role ke liye, fir grand party dena mereko.

Just submitted a 44 questions and 25 page written assessment for the Canonical Microservices Engineer role. At some point, I stopped answering questions and started writing a book 😭 Now we wait.

@godev_eth Here

@badnikhill bro how to choose the org, like it looks very complex to me, should we look at current year project, can we contribute this the projects of this year, also how to get the issue assigned

@ImShiv911 Start with doc fixes.. pick easier issues.. slowly you'll start building knowledge around codebase

@badnikhill Bro, how to read and understand their codebase and issues , which componoes to target , as whole GitHub is filled af of them , as a begginer or seems confusing and challenging at same time , Help !!

@prakharbuildss RN . gsoc projects are ongoing. because of that most maintainers stay busy. but even if your PR is not merged. You have proof of work.

@badnikhill tell me 4 repos which are extremely active

One GSoC mistake I made early: Trying to understand the entire codebase before contributing. You don’t need to. Pick one issue. Trace one feature. Understand one small part deeply. Your map of the codebase grows with every contribution. #GSoC2027 #GSoC #OpenSource

@prakharbuildss I think you're doing well. Organized PRs one thing which matters more is communication with maintainers. Talk about how you gonna fix /add something under issues .

@badnikhill do check it out, let me know what things can be taken care of

@prakharbuildss Amazing!

@badnikhill did, already doing some contribution in sugarlabs, and made an app for all the mac os people , its a face lock authentication application, do check it out please github.com/dweep-desai/Fa…

@Arpan_Sarp Gsoc archive.

@badnikhill How to start

@Shlokktiwarii I was on old contributor from last year :)

@badnikhill What was your contribution timeline before gsoc?

@MansiVe61115132 Then they never noticed you. Maintainers do reply to contributors who make life easier for em

@badnikhill What if maintainers in that org are sleepy ? Less responsive

@Kapendev Will do very soon. But remember your part of the deal XD

@badnikhill Buy me X premium first.

I got a job. My senior developer jokes are getting too real...😳
