It's been a while since I tried to find open source projects to contribute to as I've been swamped with some projects myself.

I've been writing tech blog posts for a few years now.

I frequently receive messages from enthusiastic contributors who have completed 2 or 3 high-quality...

A few months ago, I shared a story about building an automated open source portfolio using just my...

Recently, I read Bekah HW’s blog post, "When 'Local' Went Global: The Pandemic Era of International Communities."

Hacktoberfest is almost over.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I'm a firm believer that everyone has a place in open source, even if you're not technical or lack…

Let's be honest.

Can you believe we’re already almost two weeks into Hacktoberfest?

I've been on a continuous journey in open source since 2020.

Remember way back in January?

In my last post, I shared my achievements and challenges in 2024.

The year 2024 was such a roller coaster for me.

Goal-setting for the new year: why one big goal beats juggling many, and how to choose, prioritize, and break yours into achievable steps.

We can't believe that it's the last month of 2024.

This year's Hacktoberfest felt different from my previous ones as a contributor.

This is a submission for the 2024 Hacktoberfest Writing challenge: Maintainer Experience This...

It's that time of the year again: Hacktoberfest!

Have you ever joined a community only to feel lost in the crowd?

As an open source maintainer, one of my daily tasks is reminding contributors to complete their pull request (PR) templates or asking them to provide…

Have you ever been excited to use open source software or contribute to the codebase only to hit a brick wall of confusion because the instructions are…

Have you ever felt like the year was flying by?

In the open source community, we often focus on contributor onboarding.

One of the most satisfying moments as an open source project contributor is having your pull request (PR) merged into the main branch.

Have you ever faced a dilemma as a maintainer, wondering whether to tackle an issue yourself or create an issue for the community to solve?

Do you know that May is Maintainer Month?

Get Job Ready challenge: a month spent building a resume, cover letter, and elevator pitch, with resources to help you prepare.

This February, we will do the "Month of Learning" challenge at Virtual Coffee, where we'll work on...

Open source project ideas: a discussion prompt on what you'd build if it had to be something people would actually use regularly.

Happy New Year, everyone!

2023 in review: becoming a first-time open source maintainer, a podcast guest appearance, community shoutouts, and the goals I'm carrying into next year.

I've been an open source contributor for a few years now.

When you encounter merge conflicts, where do you resolve them?

I've once asked myself, "What is a personal brand?"

First time as an open source maintainer, across Virtual Coffee, OpenSauced, and SheSharp during Hacktoberfest 2023, and what it taught me about giving feedback.

Five years contributing to Hacktoberfest: ten accepted pull requests, a first attempt at a code-related issue, and what I'm still learning about reading a codebase.

Hacktoberfest 2023: what it is, how to complete it, and how Virtual Coffee supports its maintainers, contributors, and mentors through the event.

My Hacktoberfest 2023 pledge: one accepted PR, and a bigger focus on supporting beginners in open source through Virtual Coffee, OpenSauced, and SheSharp.

Code of Conduct in open source: a discussion prompt on how essential one is, and whether a project without one still counts as truly open source.

I'm participating in the 100DaysOfOSS challenge by OpenSauced.

At the beginning of my open source journey, I got confused with many terms used around Git and open source.

I'm participating in the 100DaysOfOSS challenge by OpenSauced.

As we know, open source encourages open collaboration among contributors and maintainers.

Building a portfolio with Next.js: setting up a root layout for a shared navbar and footer, and using the Metadata API to define page metadata.

As mentioned in the earlier post, I mistakenly read the Pages Router docs instead of the App Router.

Not long ago, I contributed to one of Virtual Coffee's repositories.

I executed the plan to add pages to the portfolio project.

As I learn and build my portfolio website with Next.js and Tailwind in public, I will write the process and progress.

Hi Friends 👋🏼, Out of my curiosity, what are the differences between npm, yarn and pnpm?
