Hey everyone!
I've been wanting to get into open source for a while, and I finally decided to start with Hacktoberfest 2026.
I'm a B.Tech CSE graduate and mostly work with Java, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, SQL, and a few AI/LLM tools. I've built a bunch of projects while learning, but I've mostly been working on my own.
Now I want to see what it's actually like to work on a real open-source project — understanding someone else's code, fixing things, learning from other developers, and hopefully making some useful contributions along the way.
For this Hacktoberfest, I'm mainly looking forward to:
Making my first meaningful open-source contribution
Getting better at Git and GitHub
Working with real-world codebases
Learning more about AI and open-source projects
Meeting other developers who are also starting or contributing to open source
I honestly don't know how this journey is going to go, but that's kind of the fun part.
If you're participating in Hacktoberfest too, feel free to say hi. I'd love to connect and learn from you! :)
Let's see where this goes. 🚀
