Every week in my OSD600 class comes with interesting things. Lab 2 is about adding a new feature to your classmate's repo which is the Release 0.1. I chose to add a feature that enables us to show the archived versions of a website by using Wayback Machine APIs.
What I have learned
All it takes to make a pull request
Thanks to the artice of Kedar Vijay Kulkarni on https://opensource.com, I have obtained all I need to make a pull request. I highly recommend you to check out his article if you are still new to the scene.
How to be more patient
Since it takes a quite amount of understanding of other's code to modify their app, I have learned to take more time to read and understand the code which is not mine. To be honest, I barely read carefully other's code before. Basically, I just take a look at the code block that meets my needs.
From other's code I can see how people have a different approach to a situation
Like I said, it is pretty awesome to find out that there are better solutions than mine for a particular issue. By which, I mean there are things I can learn from people to better myself. Thanks to that, I know this is what a community is for.
