I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Creating a product/OSS project (regardless if it’s “successful” or not) and demonstrating the passion to drive awareness, create community engagement, focus on the details like documentation, iterating on feedback to increase retention, prioritizing work based on key use cases and adoption blockers, etc.
The last person I hired to my team was actually someone I had the pleasure of working with on an open source project. It made it really easy to see their skill set not only naturally, but also holistically (since running an OSS project is like product management).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
