Thank you for open sourcing these tips. One of my favorite strategies is to Pull Request typo corrections on the documentation of major repositories. Once accepted you can then claim to be a contributor. There's always typos because engineers can't spell. After a few of those you have a really impressive sounding résumé.
Thanks for the comment, I'll make sure not to watch that guy's video. It seems like honesty is not something that guy values so stuff he spouts could be complete incorrect.
I don't think Angular is as Bad as it's documentation. I would use it if it made sense. Like why are things in Angular the way they are? Why use Input Output decorators when props could be used, why make it unnecessarily complicated? What's the advantage of making it purposefully complicated?
@@codingwalnuthindi6984 Angular inputs basically are React props, but React doesn’t really have an equivalent for Angular outputs, because it doesn’t have two-way binding. Inputs/outputs serve different purposes and are definitely not unnecessary. Angular scales really well for large applications/libraries managed by large teams because features like that work really well together. I think a lot of people who hate Angular do because they're trying it for small side projects maintained by one developer and not really what it's intended for.
I'm an EE switching to CS and this has been in my "Watch Later" list for the past 2 months... I finally set aside time to figure out how to upload some of the projects I've been working on and the longer I watched this, the more frustrated I got that this wasn't what I expected but interested I got with your thought process LOL
"So when a company creates one of the worst frameworks in existence..." Wow, he actually restrained himself this time... "So I went back 9,000 commits in angular" AYYYOOOO there he is :)
Didn't just block the website in chrome after **the incident**, took it all the way to the DNS level. Man the commitment. You're committed to the cause like a dev commits to a repo
oh my god , I hate nodejs , it gave me sooo much pain when I wanted to use it as backend for my website , that I just used PHP , without actually having any php code in my website
See, this is why I like your channel Ben. Whenever I'm frustrated with coding and need a break, I can always hop on over to your channel for my my daily dose of Angular roasting.
I personally think that open source is more of a community work, and the developers don't, or rather shouldn't care about getting anything in return. You're solving a problem, or building a software, and then putting it up for your homies to play with it, and make it better. Maintaining the projects can be tedious though.
To my understanding any framework gives you boiler plate code, so yes React is a framework, it isn't just a library because you build application on top of it.
I like your tranquility and sense of humour. There's a bit of "don't take this at face value", and "fill in the gaps" which I think just exposes the brutal fact of what we do as a consequence of our own actions, say advocacy for best practices, or the war on the best code editors, and the flipped dichotomy of what we actually do in private... Which gives us all unique differences and makes software development fun.
_Wow the tone in which he comments sarcastically with the that expression makes you wonder if he's giving serious advice, so as it will seem to an outsider_
BullDog I would consider it to be able to be used as both. Like they say in the docs, you can choose to only have a little or have every HTML Element a component lol
I wish I had a guy like you to work with, unlike my boring colleague who hardly ever talk about the work itself, in fact they talk a lot more about techy trends that they actually know and sometimes they just don't make sense, yet they manage to gain so much credibility from other junior developers and line manager who has no clue whatsoever! I wish I had the power to sack them when they were talking nonsense... BTW one of my colleagues is against using React's new features like context and hooks and they fact that we no longer need to use Redux, and he tends to nick other people's code and make it even more complicated... it's just amazing how talent this guy is in the wrong way! Anyways, just wanted to share my day to day experience with everyone on UA-cam and of course Ben as well, and be thankful for having any better colleagues than I do! Thanks for the video Ben
I think devs are overestimating the impact open-source can have in their careers. A lot of devs don't care, HRs don't care, having popular open-source project might not be as big of a push for your career. It can help a bit but there are easier ways. Building your network through meetups will be easier if you want to push your career forward. I personally don't see open-source as an internship but more like charity/voluntary work. I'm almost not paid for it (~100$/month), it takes time but it is there to help others.
@@holland7862 located in London. You do have companies asking for a Github there too but maybe it's not the same here. I've been on the hiring side btw, once I interviewed a guy that was really proud of his open source projects, got a few hundred stars on one of his project. I didn't care much and my colleague didn't care as well. He failed the interview. We hired someone that didn't have any open-source projects but he demonstrated better skills and knowledge during the interview.
The first vid of yours I'm seeing, and I love it! Don't know how you actually maintain a straight face through your jokes... I never seem to be able to do that...
Another good trick is to subtract the number of issues the repository has. It's especially effective for projects a lot of normies use, because they will open issues but never submit code to close issues. This can sometimes put projects in the negatives.
4:35 The question is, why should you always see software development related to career and not just as a hobby? Many people are learning a musical instrument, a language or doing sports just for fun and interest. They do not even think about earning money with it.
I clicked on the video thinking it's serious and that I might actually learn something but it turned out to be a meme video and I ain't even mad. I have a feeling Ben's hate for Angular is gonna backfire cause a lot of people who might not have given any serious thoughts to Angular before might now google it and decide to use it just to find out what the fuss is about, I know I am gonna build an Angular SPA soon.
yeap, I think that framework length of life is approx 10-15, max 20 years, and after this is usually replaced by newer more modern solution. For me vue don't reinvent wheel agian and just nice implement html template system. This is nice aspect of this framework, because is easier to lern this if you know well pure html/js features. Ofcorse there is more nice aspects :) like scalabity, learning curve, better documetnaion and ... and...:)
I enjoy your commentary and I appreciate the light-hearted and humorous nature. I want to point out, though, that there is a bigger picture regarding open source. Individual projects can be quite chaotic and the individual decision to follow along the ideas of "social coding" isn't always straightforward. In the grand scheme of things, however, open source coding is nothing short of a modern-times world wonder -- just like the pyramids (built by slaves, thus messy too). Even the "brats" that demand features and the passive users who open issues but never do pull requests ... all of them together establish a protocol that humanity builds upon. And even if, one day, open source might be much less important than it is today: it's the playground where everyone learned. A failed open-source project is just as valuable as a successful one.
okay, I probably gonna take some hate but Ben, it seems like you've becoming the Techlead with his style and I dunno, it doesn't feel good. I used to enjoy your content, now I'm just sticking around. Anyway, this is just my opinion, ofc you do whatever u want.
I kinda agree. Ben's coding videos are top tier and where many others only scratch the surface and show basic usage of frameworks and libraries, Ben shows more advanced topics. And I really appreciate that. I just feel that lately there's been more trolling videos going on.
Not sure how you compare Ben and TechLead. First off, they have completely different perspectives and different ways to convey them. Ben comes across as humble in my opinion, compared to TechLead's attitude and hypocrisy.
appreciate the feedback 🙏 this video I was trying to test out more of a Casually Explained style (without the anims) than Techlead a style but I can see how the water is kind of muddy
The 3 stars from your mom and sister tip ... I'm like: wow, what a troll ... then you continue with 2 solid tips, adding a logo in README and emojis in the commit messages, which are indeed good looking and catchy.
Usually you start contributing to a project because you're using it yourself and there's something that bugs you (missing feature/bug/other improvement)
Yo first time in your channel and I have a feeling you might not like Angularjs, just a feeling tho
Who does?
Welcome to the channel
He really doesn't like AngularJs, good channel tho.
He's a react Evangelist... Angular is too much for him
The React religion does not allow him to like Angularjs

It's actually a "sit down".

Exactly, title "How to Open Source Like a Pro" and there is literally no useful information.
misesliberty but funny yes
I am still putting emojis in my commit messages
If you ask Ben, all open source code is great, except Angular. That could have stayed closed source and locked up in a safe forever 😂

The Angular roast came a little early today. Made me happy.
you are becoming a first-class troll, I like it :)
When you started talking about all the dependencies building up I was reminded that you use nodejs and react.
oh my god , I hate nodejs , it gave me sooo much pain when I wanted to use it as backend for my website , that I just used PHP , without actually having any php code in my website
3 freaking stars killed me 🤣🤣🤣. Dude how can you say all that with a straight face.

This guy is like the Penguinz0 of the dev community with that dry humour lol. Love this 😅
This had some actual tips in it but was really funny.
I've always thought of contributing to open source as volunteer work, pretty much just giving back to the coding community.
Omg, dude, you've started a new genre of comedy: developer comedy.
100K!! Congrats Ben!

The best thing at contributing to Open Source is improving your GitHub profile.
One of my favourite reason to watch Ben is him roasting Angular.
