Really interesting article.
When I was a student (not so long ago 😅).
I have participated to an open source project of the linux foundation.
I've learned a lot (even make some money). I think it is one of the most valuable experience I had at the moment since it brings me a lot of others one for jobs.
That's a great
I would love to read about your experience!
Yeah, I will totally write about that. :D

It's my mistake!

Hey Arindam thanks so much for sharing these tips! Really love open source as a means of upskilling and building solid portfolio/resume experience
I come from a self-taught background and starting my own open source project in 2020 was without a doubt the defining start of my career in software engineering and I really owe a lot to the open source community as a result - it's a great way to meet a lot of really interesting people building really interesting projects
Thanks a lot for Chris!
