Hey DEV fam! I'm Riya — a CSE student from India who loves writing code (and a little poetry too 💌).
This month, I made my first open source PR to Fastify — and it actually got reviewed 😭💖.
💻 What I Did:
Tackled a beginner-friendly issue around ESLint rules.
Learned about proper commit messages, branch naming, and contributing guidelines.
Understood how real-world codebases are structured (spoiler: huge but fun).
🌱 What I Learned:
Open source folks are super welcoming.
Even "small" changes matter.
It’s okay to ask for help and make mistakes.
💬 What’s Next?
I'm planning to contribute every month and prep for GSoC 2026 — manifesting it ✨
Also building a cool tool called SkillSnap (a dev portfolio + roadmap builder) — more on that soon!
Would love to connect with others starting their OSS journey — let’s grow together 🚀
