Open-Source

I had previously completed Google Summer of Code | 2021 and Linux Foundation Mentorship | 2021 two highly renowned open source programs which paved my path towards excellence as a software developer. I chose open source for reasons I have highlighted in Collaboration not Competition but it brought so many other good things along with it like learning, friends, experience, connections, etc. There was one space which was left for me to explore with open source, Bitcoin....

Competition happens at the bottom. People at top are collaborating. I read these words on Ravi’s status and immediately it hit me as something I have tried to pursue since my very first month in college. Collaboration has been a key factor in my overall mental well being aka happiness throughout my career and overall life advancement. Enough with Competition After going through 3 years of JEE coaching and having participated/succeeding in about all of the competitive exams including IJSO, RMO, KVPY, IChO, and JEE Advanced, I decided to put my foot down on competing....

I recently graduated from LFX Mentorship Program. In this blog post, I will be sharing my experience of contributing to Vitess, a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. What is LFX Mentorship In the exact words of the Linux Foundation, The Linux Foundation Mentorship Program is designed to help developers — many of whom are first-time open source contributors — with the necessary skills and resources to learn, experiment, and contribute effectively to open source communities....

Abstract Chapel is a programming language designed for productive parallel computing at scale. It simplifies parallel programming through elegant parallel programming constructs. As Chapel can utilize a system to its fullest potential, it seems like one of the ideal solutions to handle millions of network requests. Currently, we can do network programming by using C Interoperability, but those constructs are not intuitive and good enough for users to easily do their tasks....

What is GSoC? Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open-source organization on a 10-week programming project during their break from school. This post highlights my journey of getting selected into the program from the very beginning. I believe that there is no defined path for getting selected in such open-source fellowships. Everyone has a unique journey, and you can take a few things from other journeys to write yours :) because the essence of each one is similar....
