    In this super interesting video, I talk about my story of getting into one web3 company through Open Source Contributions."
    Btw, if you're searching for how to make an open source contribution, watch this video where I helped your favourite Harnoor (@singhinusa) in making his first open source contribution: • Google Summer of Code:...

    Bro could you make a series of some sort, where you go over random opensource projects, and show us how you read the huge codebases, how you debug, how you fix stuff and things like that, it'll be a great series as no one on YT has content like this.

    Also it will be great if you make a video where you will choose an organisation (what is the whole process of choosing an organisation) on GSOC and show us all the steps and contribute to an issue and make PR i.e. I am talking about a full fledged guide to contribute to Open Source, especially GSOC.

      Honestly there is no actual guide to tackle the challenges of a large codebase. In fact, in various startups they don't even maintain a pattern. The best thing you can do is to learn how to navigate through the code, to find what you want, and working on your tasks without getting intrigued by the vastness of the code. This only comes with practice

    Hi Harkirat, Awesome video. Could you make videos on how you decide which projects to contribute to. Which language you contribute ? Complexity of the contributions, like do you have to build sophisticated modules to get noticed. And how to maintain an active GitHub profile. As no other developers makes videos on these area at least not hands-on. Can you show live commits live coding etc. Thank you! Again you are an inspiration to me and consider one among tech mentors in UA-cam.

    This video was very informative, but could you make another one on open source contribution? Specifically, on how a beginner should start by reading large codebases, understanding issues, and solving them. This would be really helpful for people who want to get into open source but don't know where or how to start.
    If you have the time, could you also consider starting a bootcamp that covers everything from the beginning to the end, including web 3 and contributions? I understand that it might not get as many views as content on data structures and algorithms, but it would definitely be helpful for those who want to get into open source😅
