so 20 people from the 100x dev Cort got

into gso this year as much as I would

like to say that I had any part to play

in it I did not in fact I will Clearly

say I had zero part to play in any one

of their Journey with that out of the

way we're going to discuss what

organizations did they contribute to we

have 10 people from 10 different

organizations so it'll give you a nice

top level view of how can you target

this organization next year what was

their primary text tack before they got

into G what is their primary text tack

right now how many contrib did they make

how can you set up the projects locally

what was their best pull request that

got them in and some general Alpha tips

and tricks that might help you get in

tldr is most of them were highly

motivated did a lot of hard work but

also did a lot of smart work when it

comes to choosing the organization with

that context let's get right into the

video insute of Technology the it at

Delhi University manipal College mang

had like 10 vs in the next like 10 15

days so like and that was rejected in

Google some of C uh in the college no I

do not have any group but yeah what else

did you do differently were you building

a lot of projects what were you doing

right in these 10 months this year like

I was the only one getting into G from

when I uh I was very consistent with

attending the events in New Delhi that

was happening so I have made a lot of

friends you should come on the channel

and just explain everyone how can you

set up chromium on a machine so I had no

seniors to look up to because like only

one or two seniors have like done this

and there was a pass like my first line

of HTML in like August 2023 so hey

satwik uh would love to know your

background and like which college do you

currently go to yeah so I'm a third year

studying btech in data science and I go

to manipal Institute of Technology and

uh yeah that's just an introduction and

also it's like a pleasure to meet you

likewise you're in the manipal branch of

manipal like the main branch yeah the

main branch got it and you mentioned

bachelors in data science is this like a

new Bachelor that yeah so I there's only

is there's only been like one other

batch of data science who were my

seniors uh and it's like a new uh degree

that like essentially they've like

opened up a multiple you know uh

specializations in computer science

itself and data science was one of them

got it makes a lot of sense what's your

primary text Tack and when did you start to

code uh so actually I started to code uh

for the first time in my first year like

but I've coded in like school a little

bit you know all these HTML uh all those

subjects and then like eventually but

the first time I actually coded was in

my first year and I joined like a

robotics team that essentially

participates in this competition hosted

by NASA and we built a Rover and it was

essentially automating that Rover and my

primary text stack at that time was uh

Python and uh C++ and we were only

working on backend things like most

mostly machine learning and Robotics

related things and uh around uh I think

December was when I first started with

the cohort itself as soon as I joined

was when I started JavaScript uh for the

first time ever and uh that's like for

right now I think my I I don't exactly

have a text stack per se so I'd say I'm

pretty comfortable with the JavaScript

typescript Python and C++ got it makes

it l sense and you mentioned you're

currently doing an internship so you're

doing vck as well as an internship is

that the case

uh yeah so I'm currently uh doing this

other internship called with called

Samsung prism so that's also like a

remote thing where uh it's part of our

College essentially a bunch of

professors uh have approach like Samsung

has approached a bunch of professors and

they've essentially made a tie up with

uh like a b a bunch of professors and a

bunch of students and we're working on a

specific project related to uh

tokenization of uh and tokenization of

like you know uh embeddings into uh of

text uh embeddings into a vector

database and you know optimizing it for

smart home devices so that's another

thing I'm working on as well got right

so that sounds like a machine learning

heavy project what about your gck uh gso

also is I I wouldn't say pretty like

heavily machine learning it's uh so

basically I'm working on a project

called tensor map and it's by the

organization that I'm working for a c2si

so while the name is new I I also also

found this out recently but uh it's been

the score Labs which was which has been

here I think since the like a really

long time 10 15 years they kind of

changed their name to c2si and that's

the organization that I've been

contributing and working for and the

project that I'm working on is uh

essentially a front end to build machine

learning applications so the front end

is react and the back end is uh python

using flask and it's essentially

building all these models in the back

end and like a building like a pretty

visualization for you know making these

models possible got it that makes a lot

of sense when did you start contributing to

G uh so I contributed I think really

really late I think I don't even know if

you remember but I think one of the at

some me uh like you know cohort video

Cort live stream we I had essentially

sent a message saying okay the new

organizations are out I should start

like how like you know how do I pick

these organizations so I think the

organizations came out on like 25th Feb

or some I'm not I'm not exactly sure but

my f and so the one of I think the most

important thing I did was like you know

uh short list the organizations properly

so and then right after that I think my

first contribution to my organization

was on 27th or 28th of February but uh

at the end but at the same time like you

know I wouldn't like recommend anyone

anyone to do this because like after

that I sat for like 10 days and I think

I changed about 10,000 lines of codes

and like you know uh had like 10 PRS in

the next like 10 15 days so like i' say

you have to like start off early do your

research go for an organization that's

been there before and has a lot of

projects got it that makes a lot of

sense and so you mentioned most were

those like most of them frontend heavy

uh considering your project is frontend

heavy uh not exactly so it was uh flask

and react right so I think a lot of it

was uh like I'd say 50/50 itself like oh

I also have to uh as a part of the

project as well I had to dockerize the

application and like although the

dockerization part wasn't done in the

cohort yet I had worked on dockerization

because of my robotics thing where like

we had to dockerize for arm or like a

microprocessor so that came came in

handy and I uh like that was also a

portion of what I was contributing to as

well got it so to summarize you started

at the very end but you had extremely

heavy contributions in front end backend

as well as you found whatever low

hanging fruit you could for example

dozing the app and I did that as well

yeah exactly amazing uh I would love to

know what do you think is the

contribution of your open source

contributions compared to your proposal

uh that got you in uh yeah I think

proposals aren't very important in the

sense that you just have to word them

right and showcase your uh open source

whatever PRS that you have made but I

think PRS are like definitely like 95%

of what is going to get you in got it

that makes a lot of sense amazing that's

all the questions I had I'm Pera Singh

from the Department of mechanical

engineering uh I'm a third year

undergrad at bit syri and this year I

have been a part of a program called

Google summer of code in open chemistry

and I was the only one student who was

selected in that

organization amazing share your story

you have an interesting one you you

commented on my video I remember that

yes thank you actually started uh it's

all started by your video which you made

for p5js web editor he was contributing

to it so I was thinking like yeah what say

contribution so I started contributing

there basically I had four PR open there

but the problem was the maintenance

wasn't highly active there so it was

taking a lot of time to merge those PS

so parallely I was looking for other

organizations too uh when I found an similar

organization they were dealing with

Graphics like actually they were dealing

with webg a graphics a JavaScript API an

openg and a sort of JavaScript it was

really overwhelming codebase for me it

was very tough actually I would say so I

started like reading that codebase of

one month I took one month to like

understand the codebase workflow of what

they are doing actually so after

like I thought let's contribute now and

I contributed there five months actually

and I had 13 to 14 PR most actually all

all were good issues not simple issues

but yes

features after doing so much in one

March I think at 11:30 p.m. I got the

results and actually that organization

wasn't selected by G this year so I

cried a lot and like slept with slept at

night uh next day when I woke up I saw

your video like you have prepared a you

like so how what should be our next step

if you have got the organizations so I

video and I had more than 2,000 lines of

code out there so it was like basically

a very bad moment for me so after that

what I did was it was basically my

destiny or what something I don't know

you prepared you made another video in

which you highlighted my comment and you

told about how maker mindset should be

here is a comment from my last video

where it says P5

editor I had more than 2,000 lines of

code there basically means processing is

an organization that did not come to gck

this year and this person is a little

sad about it uh on a YouTube comment um

surprisingly the same thing happened in

2015 processing was an organization

which I was contributing to and they did

not come in G this year but rather than

cribbing about it on the internet I sort

of picked up another organization and

made it to jol that year so what does

that tell you have a maker mindset so I

don't know I think like related to your

video because you were also sharing the

same story as back in 2015 what happened

in processing you were contributing to

that organization and that was ejected

in Google summer of code so I went I

just felt the same feeling and you have

did in the other organizations too so it

was my chance to become herir 2.0 so I

started short listing the organizations

I prepared a Google talk in which I had

written all the 1800 idea lists which

came for G this year and after like

rejecting those which I can't do I after

8 to nine passes I've was left with only

three idealists and I drafted two

proposals on them and I was selected for

open chemistry Des amazing so pretty

interesting Journey did you contribute

at all to open

chemistry uh actually what I did was

first I prepared my proposal and then

the proposal was I have to do total five

tasks and in one the total one task I

have completed in my contribution only

but that PR wasn't merged but I had two

PRS basically of 150 lines and something

like that got it so makes sense that was

the reason actually makes sense so you

mentioned you contributed to p5js editor

and then to p5js as well uh which are

both JavaScript heavy libraries what was

that the case with open chemistry as

well so it was basically for like

development part it was C++ and c and

for the shaders language which was

written in openg was shaders actually

which was the same as p5js were doing

the similar stuffs they were doing so I

think I was selected more over my past

contributions too so my profile matter a

lot go it so you're saying all your p5g

uh contributions came in handy because

both were doing Graphics Yes actually

makes a lot of sense when did you start

to codee so uh to be honest I started

contributing at my second semester of

when I came to my college I was thinking

for cat and gate but at second semester

I totally focused on my coding because I

thought this is the thing which I have

to do uh we have a lot of money in like

software Engineers engineering field and

also you have to sit under the AC work

on a laptop just a very kink like job so

I thought makes sense uh so second when

you started to code and you're currently

in I'm in third year of my college I'm

basically 2021 to 2025 batch got it

makes a lot of sense uh is there any if

someone wants to start to learn about

Graphics because the biggest problem

with p5js is even though it's written in

JavaScript but everyone knows no one

knows Graphics at all it's like very

hard to dive into that codebase so how

did you learn about computer Graphics so

actually what I did was first I started

looking at the codebase I wasn't aware

of graphicss at all but since I was

contributing to p5js web editor I was

also making stuffs like I was also doing

creative card coding because the

reference they were given

given

documented I wasn't much clear but the

mentor was very supportive he used to

guide me at every path which I was stuck

so it was like more over like help for

me like it helped me a lot Mentor helped

me a lot go so you learned on the job

you did not do any graphics car you have

College college doesn't teach anything

generally also you do not refer to a

just makes sense is there any pull

request of yours that you're proud of

that you would like to

show you know this was a big one that

was hard to do yes I want to show a

metalness feature which I have

implemented in p5js a feature like if

you have some anything which you have uh

like rendered in that p5js vator if you

like uh write a function called

metalness and if you like uh start add a

variable to it it shows a full property

of metalness how it looks it's basically

working on the diffus and specular

lights so do you have that PR Handy by

any chance are you currently on your

laptop can you share screen okay just a

second yeah so actually this was um ball

so when you click drag the the metalness

feature when you change it it gets like

a metalness kind of property got it that

makes sense so you added everything not

just the slider like the actual code to

yes yes actual code got it that's super

cool interesting uh did do you have a

peer group in your college is your

college a tier two college no it's a

tier three College basically so I was I

am the only one who was selected for gck

nice

right makes sense cool that's all the

questions I had so could you give me a

brief introduction about yourself yeah

hey I am satam son and I am to Times

cinet Release team member cncf

Ambassador C cncf ambassadors are

basically those folks uh who has

significant and impactful contributions

in the CNF community and apart from that

I am also a cloud native New Delhi

organizer basically this is a community

of cloud native Enthusiast in New Delhi

and yep that is all and also Google M at

open got it and you're currently in

college yeah uh I am in third year at

Delhi University got it very very cool

um so let's kick things off with when

did you start to write code what was the

first code that you wrote and what's

your primary text attack okay so uh back

in 2021 I got admitted to college uh but

uh the first year was basically online

so uh I did not do did much anything and

when I when I shifted back shifted to

Delhi then I started coding and all the

things the first code I wrote was in

basically 2021 December

yeah that was not pretty much good but

yes I just got it started with that got

it and you mentioned you're a cncf

Ambassador so what's your primary stack

then is it highly

devops uh yes uh highly devops and goang

got it makes a lot of sense uh what's

the organization that you got

in uh open Suza opena all right so the

next question is when did you first hear about

about

G uh okay so uh when I was in 12th uh uh

so I was surfing a video I think you

earlier used to five years back you used

to run like something live uh for g sock

thing so I do not remember quite

properly like what was that thing but

there was something live some coming on

your channel uh so I heard

about there only and then you also had a

video like how to select the

organization and I went to the I I saw

your video and I went to the Google at

that time that was everything was very

overwhelming for me like what is this

organization what is the Google's one

code and all so yep that that is how it

started but uh I also applied for last

year but uh the organization did not get

uh quite slots so the organization gave

to only one slot and my project was not

selected by Google so I was rejected

last time got it makes a lot of sense

and your current organization could you

give me a brief of what it does uh open

susai is basically a Linux distribution

uh uh it provides the Linux distribution to

the community and the books correct

makes sense uh did you contribute at all

to this organization before you got

in uh yes uh in terms of code

contributions like uh nothing like that

but uh I have a pretty good story to

share with you like uh while I I went to

a event I was a speaker there and I met

one of one of a guy whose name is Chris

and he he was uh earlier Mente at open

sua in Metro and uh like he was

saying okay so I have done uh Google

summer of code this year 2023 and I

asked him like how did you done how how

did you get into Google sum of code like

what was the secret thing that uh you

did so he was he told me that okay uh go

to meetings and attend the meetings he

also got me introduced to the open soua

Community I went to and the thing is

that opena Community has the bi-weekly

meetings uh every week you have two

meetings and I was consistent with all

the meetings and I got introduced to the

mentors and uh like whatever the task

they were providing me I was quite good

with delivering in in the dedicated time

and I also wrote like they have they

have provided me things to set up on my

local computer so uh not I not only said

uh like set it up in my computer

I just I also wrote A Blog blog about it

and made a YouTube video out of it and

say it with them so they liked my idea

and they like the things this was the

thing in six months I was consistent in

every minute hardly I missed one or two

meetings uh but apart from that I was

attending all the meetings got it and

you had zero incentive you weren't

getting paid this was all open source

contributions you were h no very cool uh

what else was asking so so you mentioned

it's a Linux distribution so could you

share a bit about what your project is

what are you doing oh okay so my project

is basically uh I have to build a sample

of machine learning framework that is

credit decisioning of that I have chosen

like there are multiple verticals you

can choose the agricult agriculture

vertical Finance vertical so I have

chosen the finance vertical and I will

be building a credit sample credit

decisioning app which will basically be

streamlining the customers Landing

Journey and I will deploy it on ketes

using uh the container orchestration

technology got it so this so you aren't

writing too much lowlevel code you

you're creating an end user application

for this company okay got it that makes

sense uh what's my question uh how did

you pick your organization I'm assuming

you just met the other mentee and then

he just got you in and that's how you

picked uh yes uh this is basically like

last time I got a listen that I have to

pick my organization very carefully so

earlier before December 2023 I was

thinking okay I have significant

contribution contribution in cncf and

when the the organization list will be

announced by Google so I will go and

contribute to cncf I was more aligned to

because I have pretty good contributions

there so I

thought okay

and and after that I met Chris and

things turned around I went to the open

soural Community I liked the of my

mentor and the the thing they are

supporting me they are helping me learn

and grow my my growth was exponential

that time so I thought of choosing this

organization only got it makes a lot of

sense um so you mentioned you're from du

which is it like a tier one tier two

tier three is there a tier at

all U I think if even if you go and find

the college on Google I think you

probably find it so yep uh

say tier three and I am also not from

PCH degree oh so what's your degree then

uh BC oh interesting interesting so my

question to you then is uh do you have a

peer group that you have in your college

or otherwise that you know motivated you

to uh no uh in the college no I do not

have any group but y uh I was very

consistent with attending the events in

New Delhi that was happening so I have

made a lot of friends uh in the in New

Delhi and also I run a Community like

there are thousand folks in my community

of cloud native Enthusiast got it that

is super cool you mentioned you've

contributed to cuber ntiv in the past

right y okay I am also the release uh

Team Member oh W that is amazing uh so

if someone wants to contribute to

kubernetes let's say what's the process

like could you give me a brief

overview okay there are multiple ways to

enter in kubernetes because there are

the kubernetes code base is divided into

multiple six six special interest group

uh these are the folks that handles the

multiple aspects of kubernetes so uh

just go and pick uh whatever uh Sig you

like and start contributed contributing

to it and go and start attending

meetings what I did was I find sick

docks the document is something very

easy to start with so I got into sick

docks and from there I started

contributing and then I met a lot of

folks there they have taught me

personally or on Google meet and doom

meet so I I just escalated my graph from

there got it so the Sig that you were

part of was the documentation yep

earlier I was the part of Sig

documentation now I'm the part of Sig

relay what what is that Sig release yeah

okay Sig release is basically the

release part of kubernets thing so there

are two two things the releasing uh and

the release engineering so release

Engineering in Moree of coding and

release is more of like keeping things

on track and Publishing it on time got

it hey Karan could you give me a brief

introduction uh which college what do

you like to do basic

intro yeah so my name is Kar I'm in my

year in manipal jur started coding

around August of 2023 I'm exploring

various St like ethereum stock machine

learning basically everything I just

explored it and like started

contributing to my organization in

around December and I got in 2G sugar Labs

Labs

that's got it so I would love to know

you mentioned sugar Labs uh when did you

first hear about sugar labs and were you

well versed with the text tack how

difficult was it for you to contribute

so sugar Labs has basically two code

bases the first one is in pure HTML CSS

and JavaScript so that was I done it

around October itself so I was very well

ver with that Cod base but my is

actually react and so that I was

comfortable after I been some weeks in the

the

court got it so you mentioned two

repositories makes sense how many

contributions did you make before you

got in I made like six to seven

contributions and those were like the

first ones were just like basic

documentation and like helping the

maintenance out with the project and two

good contributions two good

contributions makes sense uh what's your

project currently what are you working

on uh I'm basically music blocks is a

visual programming language so it is

first implemented in htl CSS jaas I have

to like rewrite the whole code base of

that usual blocks in react and

typescript got it so you're con my

project for the got it so you're

converting the HTML C javascri project

over to react is that

it um not quely but yeah the

functionality yeah the functionality

okay go it that sounds like a pretty big

project to do in like the summer so yeah

that is that is it is a core part of the

music blocks application

got it got it makes sense uh how many

people got into sugar labs this year 11

or 12 I guess oh wow that's a lot of

people okay got it

yeah so you mentioned you're from

manipal jaur um is there a ecosystem of

people there developers are you an out

odd one out do you have a peer

group um like majority people over there

are focused on College and stuff like

the group that I am in like for one guy

got into ICBC in his first year like

regionals the other R research so like

the group that I'm in like actually are

very vered in

coding got it and how many people got

into G stock this year from manipal

jaur three or four people as far as I

makes sense and you there is no certain

culture for it there is no certain

culture for open source in the college

it's just like how did you pick your

organization so it was basically on the

text T I had like since since I started

to learn code I had a in mind that I

want to to source and get into some

program by the end of my first year or I

get an at least because like I have not

gotten so I cover that some so I

started time I was just looking for

projects like I was looking for projects

since September like and then I decided

to learn like majority projects were

using react and typescript so then I

enrolled in the cohort and since then I

learned for

weeks that was my framework for choosing organization

organization

did you find any other organization were

you contributing to more than

one yeah um I was contributing

to that is a like it is just like Google

meet it is a webc platform like I

remember the list the day that g

organizations list came I was aake to

like 5 a.m. and I was like um I had

selected five organizations and I was

just like um checking their code and

like trying to contribute like the first

PR when yeah that is I decided to then

go on withar Labs as my final

organization got it got it that makes

sense when did you first start to write

code what's your coding background

like like I was from a stateboard school

so no coding background I like wrote my

first line of HTML in like August 2023

like I bought two Udi courses yeah and

like bought two Udi courses one of

python one of web development completed

them by around November then I was like

having trouble building like full stack

project by my own so then I joined the

then I did all the assignments and like

I remember like you saying in the Cod

that um if you know the mo St like G so

g g that was the orientation class that

you took so like focus on that so I was

like having primary focus on that

started to code in August 2023 which is

like yeah eight months ago like no 10

months ago and you had like so that you

either have really high IQ or you were

are really hardworking so no I you to

consistently code for four to five hours

at least a day oh wow

every course for two hours I

continuously for 60 days I completed

both the courses of UD and then I hopped

on to the got it that's super

interesting uh so you're like a you're

an exception at the very least I don't

think a lot of people can I I did not

learn this quickly so I would love to

know U you mentioned toi courses cot

what else did you do differently were

you building a lot of projects what were

you doing right in these 10

months like um when I actually started

to code the only focus was like some guy

in my college had built his own

portfolio website which was animated and

he had just started college I was like

he can build so many stuff so like why

can't I so I started coding using that

way and like then I explored very

different things like electron GS if you

might have heard of it like a desktop

application so like I built a lot of I

explored different different Stacks like

what it takes to build games like

platform games just exploring stuff and

like genuine being curious stuff that helped

helped

correct so uh so you're currently in

college which I would assume you have

some college load as well seems like you

hit the gym I could be wrong plus Yeah

you mentioned learning so fast so how

are you allocating hours in your day I

would love to know that yeah so in my

first semester I actually had a very

good routine like I used to hit the gym

in the morning then College then I code

for four to five hours and then read a

read a book an hour and then sleep but

in the second semester I attended a

couple of hackathons one in them so um

like went to different cities so in my

second semester it was very ad hoc like

uh if I want to code for like I code

for8 hours then I sleep at 4: then I

wake up at 8 go to college come back

sleep again like very U now I'm trying

to like allocate four to five hours on

the particular time 8 to 12 I called for

my G project and then I spend time on

learning data structures and algorithms

from like 4 to 8 got it after that is

super interesting what's your advice to

someone who hasn't yet started to code

has all the motivation in the world now

how do they plan their next 10

months how do they plan their next 10

months that is a good question like

first first four months actually like

try to focus on your fundamentals like

do data structures and algorithms that

is the one thing that I did not do and

which I which is not a good thing so

like first focus on that the next two

months explore different Stacks like you

can be done with M Stack in like 30 days

itself if you like really explore it

like not going to the depth but like

exploring it so like explore different

Stacks see what you like and then like

try to find open source projects that

are like fit to your stack and then like

go deep into that stack and contribute

got it makes sense and for you that

stack was m and for you that

organization yeah that was M got it is

there are there other organizations that

you've contributed

to no the like only jitc and

like perfect cool man that's all the

questions I had so could you give me a

brief introduction about yourself

College work experience things like these

these

okay so I'm currently studying SRM

college chenai and I'm in my second year

going to be in third year next semester

after the summer breaks and uh uh work

experiences I just started um I just

started coding my first semester so I I

had made a python bot uh so we used we

used to get this uh DS assignments uh

from a college so I just automated the

assignments using the pyth and Bot using

selenium so that's how I started to code

and uh after that I had to host this bot

somewhere right uh so I didn't know how

to host the bot on the cloud so I learn

learned how to like learn core webd in

my second year I started learn core webd

in second year got it makes sense and

what organization did you finally take

part in so I I chose uh neutral ljs

organization so basically what it does

is uh it just converts your website into

a like a app uh web

like electron but better than electron

oh got it native

application for Windows or Mac or Linux

so basically uh what made you interested

in this organization what made you

think okay so when I searched to the

organizations uh I was targeting a

organization that did not participate

last year so basically I was not

planning to do this all this year uh

till February I was just doing my web

dev coding and uh when the organization

L came I thought I I should give it a

try so I looked to the organization that

did not participate last year so because

I don't want to didn't want to like

compete with the folks which were

contributing from very early on because

if the the comination has been coming

regularly uh the the folks uh like start

contributing very early on so I I did

not want to compete with them so I found

this organization neutral J I searched

to the code base It Was Written in CPP

so so I didn't know how to like

understand C but there were other rep

like CLI and docs and they had a like a

front end package which which was

written in JS so I started I could get

my hand head around of like this uh

repos so I just started contributing to

to the CLI and to the documentations and

uh I made like a three to four uh PR in

the CLA and 324s in the uh docks and uh

I made two two three PRS in their

templates like small uh PRS got it so it

seems like the core product is in C++

which it should be for the back end the

back end uh and your contributions are

primarily you know front end full stke

CLI whatever you find cor it so was

there a lot how did you so my question

then is you know how much do you think

your contributions mattered compared to

your proposal or how well you know the

maintainers okay so uh see C is a like a

major part of this uh this project

because uh CLI uses the binaries made

from the CPP to run the front end

project so C is basically the thing that

is running the project so uh that is a

major major thing and uh I think the my

project uh I'm targeting is to uh remove

in remove dependence of c c and move it

to the like uh make a make a file in in

no like a back end for the app which we

can control the life cycle of the app

using that backend file this is my

project and uh I think

uh what was the question again question

you I forgot but this is an interesting

point could you share your project what

exactly is your project what are you

doing over the summer okay so the

project is uh right now the app is

controll using the CL M right right from

starting of the app to closing of the

app right uh the closing is controlled

by the app but the the boot up is

controlled by C so what my project does

is uh it allows developers to write the

code in a node file which controls the

app so C just turns the backend file the

node file and it the file controls the

life cycle of the app from starting the

app to like to closing the app to

opening multiple windows you can control

all from the back end F instead of the

CLA got it makes sense you're adding a

fresh repository which is in node J is

that the case uh yeah I'm making a

package like a not M package makes a lot

of sense you mentioned you're in SRM

College SRM chai SRM chai is that a good

college bad College

every so uh so I had no seniors to look

up to because like only one or two

seniors have like done this and there

was a passed out passed out from the

college right uh so I had no seniors to

look up to and uh I just look through

your videos to like get inspiration for

the so it's not that good of a I should

not probably I should probably not say

that next question is third year uh I'm

going to be in third next year next year

so this is your only internship I would

assume over the summer you talk right uh

yeah I'm doing other projects like side

by side but there's no proper internship

I just doing project on my own uh the

main thing I was uh like targeting for

me is

first I I wanted to learn to like uh do

all the development like all the I

wanted to learn it all then I wanted to

like start like um getting hired or like

uh start asking Founders about get to

get hired got it got it that makes a lot

of sense um where do you think your

skill is currently at when it comes to

let's say the month stack or whatever is

your popular stack right now mon stack

is like uh I've done all all of those

very like early on I like like focusing

on more advanced stuff like uh cloud and

devops and I was targeting that more

instead of like content part got it that

makes a lot of sense um do you have a

popular some PR that you're proud of

that you'd like to show and you know how

you made it how do you think of solving

the problem that you can show right now

by sharing your

screen uh sure let

me okay so what this PR does was uh uh

there was a like a issue of um the app

being too hug of a size yeah so what I

did was I added web pack bundler to this

uh year and what did what it did was uh

it just it took all the like front end

files and come like bunded it using

weback and then uh packaged it into the

uh executable the binaries so uh this is

the pr first uh uh it takes the uh first

it finds the stml file MH then it uses

to uh like take out all the scripts

which was uh imported in the stml file

all the Javascript file and if if it did

not belong to like a online uh thing

that was being pulled uh it will it

would like then take it and then uh

compress it using web pack over here so

uh this is uh and then it will then it

would bundle the app after compressing

the file uh so right now it it was just

taking the whole J file without any

completion and just bundling it into the

executable so this is what it did super

cool amazing amazing pull request to

show very clean and concise U so this

was if you if I create a website and

then I want to bundle it into a native

application now you compress the

Javascript file that have written is

that it yes uh before like converting

into a executable you compress the files

amazing makes sense uh yeah man this is

great super helpful that's all the

questions I had so what's your

background name College

year uh my name is rudra and I am

currently pursuing computer science

degree from I Mundi and I'm unsure about

my current Academic Year as I just

finished giving my second second year

exams right now a few weeks ago Okay so

between the second and your third year

huh when did you start to write code for

the first time uh I started coding in my

second semester uh focusing mainly on DS

algo uh I started coding in language C++

I saw DSA questions on various coding

platform like lead code and gfg for few

month and then jumped into development

with your code code to in the December

amazing so before cohort you had only

done DSA uh yes sir oh super interesting

so you have had a Sprint Journey then

after coh to considering C started in

December and T happened in March so

would love to know what did you do what

was your schedule in these four

months uh in this four month uh actually

uh the organization organization which I

was targeting was nothing to do with we

development and I don't uh I don't have

any knowledge about that organization

before what take a stack they use then I

directly mail the project maintainer and

ask how could I start contributing in

their project mhm they replied and they

sort of give me assignment uh to build

their project locally in my system and

that was a very tedious task for me it

took me about more than probably more

than a month to build build a project

locally the issue was in their code

itself that was a problem I was unable

to build their project then uh after I

have successfully build a project then I start

start

implementing uh some new features in

their various project got it so you

mentioned it's not a web application so

could you explain a bit what

organization is it what's your project

uh my project is about con

containerizing various desktop apps of

Linux Foundation which include Cs and

many printer apps basically these are

printing Stacks I need toize this also I

am not using Docker to containerize I'm

using Rock crop

which is something buil on built on top

of Docker only got it makes sense rockes

extract that twostep build process of

doer got it got it that makes a lot of

sense and how many contributions did you

make did you make any contributions

before getting in uh yes I I made a lot

of actually uh I think more than 20 PS

was merged before I actually submitted

my proposal and that's when I I was that

I will be

selected 20 is great uh do you have any

PR that you're proud of that you would

like to show everyone and show how you

approach the problem and how you solved

it uh I can so but the problem is that

is nothing to do with we development

that's fine totally

fine um I have a PR uh which which is

basically a cicd pipeline which uses

python python language to automate Auto

automatic versioning of any snaps with

Ubuntu uses okay if you know want to

install their desktop apps using snaps

uhhuh that's was my major that's my

major PR which which include more than

450 lines of code oh wow can you show

that do you have that PR is it how do

they maintain is it on

GitHub I have GitHub uh let me open it

amazing so your organization lets you

open like operating system inside

containers is that it yes sir oh wow

it's fcking nice so I on my Mac machine

can I

VM using your software using rockcraft

uh it will not work rockcraft is will

build basically for the ubuntu's

operating system not for got it so on

Ubuntu can I start another WTO uh

rockcraft is do rra do things just like

dogger but it'll it do in this in more

optimized manner okay what's the

organization you're part of is it Rock

Linux Foundation oh it's the Linux

Foundation go It Go okay makes sense uh

right now sir I'm not finding the pr

that's fine you have a different one

that you can show we only have like two

more minutes before I open it up for

questions uh so this is a this is the pr

which I was talking about M uh I I got

many changes by the maintainer he

suggested many uh changes and I followed

that nice can you take us through

briefly through the code and what

changes you made maybe before that can

you go to the description and just show

everyone what exactly this does in

description basically this was the

feature Implement of R snap

version which automatically assigns a

version to any desktop snap if there is

any change in its

dependencies um could you elaborate a

little more on

that uh for example uh so snap is

package manager right you can use it to

install other softw yes sir yes sir okay

uh and now what exactly does Auto snap

version featuring

do it automatically assigns a version to

the apps what whenever there is a change

in any there in there any upam data

repository or in there any dependencies

then it assigns automatic version got it

uh uh if I can let me show you yeah uh

in this section this is there uh appy

store mhm we have this thing which says

latest a and 2.4.8 point1 this is

automatic correct this comes from

automatic and this is my work oh so

you're saying is this a website or is

this what is this uh this this is app

store for Ubuntu it is a website oh God

it is a website app store forun and

you're saying the version that comes

over here 2.4 H yes sir that is

automatic and that is my work got it now

can you show us the pr like show here is

a uh let me go through the code which I

have seen this is B basic dependency I

don't see the I I still see the other oh

there we go yeah I see it now oh so so

here I I have just added some some

examples so that you just know how to

implement this okay let me go through

the actual code which do this thing here

it is uh in this section from the tag of

any GitHub repository MH it extract that

tag okay

and after EXT in that tag it uh extract

the version from that tag only if you

know g g reposit they have G tags yep

yep yep so if there's a tag Associated

to a commit it extracts from there it

extract wasn't from that tag only and

here is uh basically uh all the snaps

contains snap crab. EML file where they

uh Define all all their dependencies and

what other take stack they are using and

in that snapc ml I'm changing the

version of snap got it got it that makes

a lot of sense uh interesting and all of

this is cod is in Python huh all most of

this Cod is in Python is it yes sir got

it all go is python got it makes sense

cool man uh what else if someone wants

to get into the Linux Foundation what do

you think is a good project for them to

pick up or good repo for them to look at

and they can look up into open printing

there Linux Foundation have many

organization under them one of them is

open printing uh if I would say if lus

Foundation received 21 slots this G this

year then 13 of them were of lus open

printing then there is Major chance if

you are selecting open printing as your

organization got it and my sub

organization was also open printing cool

man that's all the questions I had do

you have any questions for me uh can I

ask personal questions yeah yeah ask no

so actually I'm targeting um internship

in August from my college MH then what

should I do in next two month what kind

of internships are you looking for

remote Google

Fang uh in Fang Fang DSA you do DSA you

find a referral if possible uh you're in

second year you're about to go in third

year which means you have a year in

which most probably you'll get a

referral from someone um yeah just make

sure your DS is topnotch do not worry

about development at all if you want to

get into a Fang um does fang come on

campus for interns for you uh yes sir so

bro don't even think twice they DSA all

the way [ __ ] the so development show

though for the next few months and then

you completely focus on DSF that's what

you're looking for okay yeah thank you

sir all right anything else uh no thank

you all right thank you have a good day

man nice to meet you can you give a

brief background about yourself your

college your year and you know a brief

about your if you've done any

internships in the past things like

these so yeah I am parti I'm from nit

wangal I'm doing metery I'm from metery

department and I'm doing third I'm in my

third year of college so the coding it

all since I'm not from CS background I

started doing coding in first year I

started doing C++ and all there was a

time when you started like when you came

in YouTube you was like so highlighted

so I was like I started following you I

luckily found this cohort and like then

when I found the cohort I joined the

cohort and like the in the cohort you

were saying like uh there was a thing

you said that you can get the best out

of this code if you do gck so I was like

okay what what is this okay I I want to

see this so like this is how I got to

know about G and I like started doing g

wow amazing you are in one or

two one or two c one or C 2 I'm from 0

to 100 got it so C to got it makes sense

all right so so you does that mean you

got to know about G so in December yeah

like I I I used to watch your videos but

like the proper like yeah like when it

was like I was I'm following you so much

so I was like okay you are saying like

Okay this is this is a thing like

Benchmark I have to do it so like when I

when you said like that then I was like

yeah I'll do it okay makes sense uh

that's amazing so what was your Dev you

said you did a bunch of C++ in first

year after that just take us through

your journey of you know what all coding

do you did you do in college considering

you're from metalogy mhm so uh so first

year I started with basic C++ and then I

made C+ was very good like I I I focused

so much on like solving questions on my

own but then um in second year I didn't

second semester I didn't coded that much

but eventually with time I started

coding again and I did DSA which

eventually everyone in it I is do so

then at a after a time when I was like

okay DSA is going go Das like I was not

getting some internship from my college

on campus Because I am from metery

department so they were like not

shortlisting me at all uh so then I

found out that okay development is a

good profile to start working on so I

started working on like HTML CSS was

very basic thing so not count but then I

started JavaScript then I worked on

JavaScript react and the all things

Express man after that I got to know

from you that okay we should dive little

more deeper and like skill up more so I

started doing typescript and then all of

the things whichever you like whatever

you say I just copy it and like I

blindly follow it that's it got it got

it that makes a lot of sense amazing

dude and so what's your organization

what was your proposal like how many

contributions did you make okay so uh

this is a thing like I'm I have got my

proposal selected from from chromium so

it's like a big organization and I'm

working with like typescript only the

project is in typescript mostly so yeah

what I have found is like I was

searching for G organizations did a lot

of research I I contributed on lots of

like small contributions at least I

tried to contribute I didn't had that

much time so I found that uh this

chromium is like big organization right

so when you go to the big organization

then the competition is comparatively

less but when you are at the like I I

used to contribute in palisad foundation

so it was like so so difficult there

were so many people like there was no

time someone picked the issue and start

solving it so yeah so big organization

it's like little less

competitive makes sense and chromium I

would assume even I would back off from

it because most of the code is in C um

how did you were you able to make any

contributions yeah uh contributions I

was like it was like very very very like

overwhelming for me at the starting I

was like what is happening I I was not

expecting to like keep going for

chromium but the competition thing so I

was like if I have to make it it into it

because I started late so I will have to

choose this only so I I I tried it I

tried a lot slowly slowly people from

the cohort I I I asked for help like

sometimes in meets or something so like

yeah it it it worked it's not that

difficult actually like there are

mentors there are people chat gbt is

there and then like I've learned this

thing from you like from the cohort what

the best thing I've learned from you is

the way you approach learning so what I

used to learn is I was like okay monack

developer this developer that developer

but what I've learned from you is okay

learn something but learn it like okay

how it is working like in the Cod you

explain like like the small functioning

of what the things is happening so that

thing made me like very strong

Foundation concept so it helped a lot

makes sense makes sense uh interesting

and so in chromium were you able to make

any contributions before you got in

finally yeah uh actually in starting I

was not able to make contributions I I

made two contributions very very very

small contributions they were like

literally like just CSS changing colors

and all that set and it was also like

very difficult for me because finding

the file in which I have to fix that

changes was like very difficult but with

time I I I got confident and like yeah

then I made around six to seven six

seven contributions before getting my

proposal getting selected got it and

this was all in chromium or some

subsidiary project repo no no chromium

67 contributions other I have done four

five more like in another other

organization but major contributions

were in chromium only all right so my

next question to you is were you able to

ever set up chromium locally on your

machine yeah it was also very

challenging because like setting up

chromium yeah luckily like the laptop

which I have got is like have a good

specifications it is like 16 GB RAM and

like I5 processor so it is manageable it

is good enough but it was very difficult

it took me like I think two to three

days just like running the process

getting stuck in between then restarting

the whole process and it was like going

on so yeah but it was like good

experience super cool I've tried it once

it's really hard uh you should come on

the channel and just explain everyone

how can you set up chromium on a machine

um yeah sure sure interesting

video so you explain your project a bit

you said it's in typescript so what's

your project yeah so actually uh do you

use that bookmarks which there is this

bookmarks in Google chome right so what

I'm going to do is the the bookmarks it

is like a normal view so it is like this

is like the bookmark list of bookmarks

you can dive in like click on that enter into

into

that we are going to change it to a tree

view so like it will be like opening it

like if you click on that it will like

it will open up and then there will be

folders open up open up like in the vs

code we have this in the left side the

way we manage folder so yeah we I'm

going to change it to that so whenever

you're bookmarking you can structure it

well in folders well yeah yeah yeah it's

like easy it it was already there in

like before some updates but in the

ancient Chrome but now it's not there so

we are bringing it back with some more

functionalities yeah super interesting

so do you work with like folks who

currently work at Google is chromium

maintained by Google folks or like some

open organization yeah yeah it is

maintained by Google so I'm working with

the people like all of the teams which

I'm working with they are all from

Google working for more than 10 years or

something and but the thing is uh

chromium is like sub branch of Google I

think like they have they shift so that

they are permanently working for

chromium only right now I think chromium

do not just only works for Chrome it is

like the skeleton for many other browser

something like that yeah I think Edge

now uses chromium under the H lot of

some do um even Brave uses some version

of chromium only yeah super interesting

man how many people does chromium take

every year so this year chromium has

taken 16 people oh wow that's a lot yeah

that's a lot it is growing this is also

what I observed from the like I did a

lot of research while searching for the

organizations this is what I found that

chromium just now started game like

three years I think it's been three

years coming to G and the number of

people they are taking was growing so

yeah there was 16 people so yeah there

is lot amazing and like are most of

these projects in C and

like so the larger projects are in

cc++ my my part also like it's not

completely typescript so it's not like

react these all things are not there

it's like we work in like very scratch

we work from scratch so it's like little

of C++ polymer Shadow D and like stuff

like that so yeah mine is I think the

easiest one among the all chromium

projects like there are like people who

are working for very difficult things

I'm like I talk to them they are all

from different countries so like they

are like super genius and like doing

Masters and all in different

countries good experience yeah man this

sounds like a great experience the thing

is G so gives some people something

money whatever A lot of times people

just build Kitty projects and like

sometimes it doesn't even go into

production but in your case you can

other than the money that you're getting

you can extract a lot of value beat

referral at Google Chromium or you know

just work here fulltime or the kind of

not a lot of people get to work on

chromium if you're good at chromium you

can you know get into a lot of

companies based on just experience a lot

of browser companies other companies

that require low level stuff so you know

I would use this opportunity very

heavily to Network and and learn a lot

over the next two three months okay sure

I'll try that my best cool that's all

the questions I had so PR do you mind

introducing yourself uh y so I'm PR sha

currently a pre-final student at TripIt

Ranchi so I started coding last year

from my second year summer vacation I

start pick J Jango since I had knowledge

about python also because I don't wanted

to follow the crowd and do JS but

eventually I noticed that I have to do

it there is no way I can leave out

JavaScript and typescript so yep I have

learned those and all right and so

what's your primary stack right now you

mentioned you started with Jango but

what all do you know now uh yeah so my

primary stack still is Django I use

Python only so I've been doing

internships and like contributed to G so

using Jango and python only I I am also

using typescript and typescript and JavaScript in intern but still the I

JavaScript in intern but still the I would say like I am best at python

would say like I am best at python Frameworks amazing would love to know

Frameworks amazing would love to know where did you learn Jango from was it

where did you learn Jango from was it building a lot of projects yourself did

building a lot of projects yourself did you refer to some

you refer to some videos uh so initially it was from

videos uh so initially it was from YouTube so we have uh old like

YouTube so we have uh old like six-year-old playlist from KY like he's

six-year-old playlist from KY like he's a YouTuber so he makes videos about

a YouTuber so he makes videos about python fast API FL Etc so I started from

python fast API FL Etc so I started from there then I picked up from the book I

there then I picked up from the book I would say the books are way better than

would say the books are way better than following the tutorials because they

following the tutorials because they were much better like much depth much

were much better like much depth much Clarity also there is ajango server in

Clarity also there is ajango server in Discord which is very very helpful like

Discord which is very very helpful like even if you have a single doubt they

even if you have a single doubt they will solve it they were very helpful so

will solve it they were very helpful so that's the biggest R I think the

that's the biggest R I think the community helped me a lot to learn also

community helped me a lot to learn also the project

the project and initially like when I was learning I

and initially like when I was learning I got an intern after like 2 months that

got an intern after like 2 months that word unpaid intern I just took that for

word unpaid intern I just took that for like getting skills so that was also a

like getting skills so that was also a main factor that I could like get to

main factor that I could like get to know how the code is written in Industry

know how the code is written in Industry so yeah uh then slowly slowly steadily I

so yeah uh then slowly slowly steadily I learned it and now here amazing and so

learned it and now here amazing and so what organization are you part of and

what organization are you part of and how many contributions did you make

how many contributions did you make before getting

before getting in uh okay so so I am in open Healthcare

in uh okay so so I am in open Healthcare it is a organization which mainly deals

it is a organization which mainly deals with like creating T IUS for like

with like creating T IUS for like Medicals and healthcare services so uh

Medicals and healthcare services so uh initially when it is a new organization

initially when it is a new organization it is listed in 2024 for the first time

it is listed in 2024 for the first time wow

wow so yeah I started contributing on the

so yeah I started contributing on the very next day when the list was out it

very next day when the list was out it was like 10

was like 10 1130 p.m. uh I got to know the list is

1130 p.m. uh I got to know the list is out I like scrim through the list found

out I like scrim through the list found the organization saw the like it is

the organization saw the like it is using Django then started checking that

using Django then started checking that like code bases out it was like I was

like code bases out it was like I was familiar with like it was not much stuff

familiar with like it was not much stuff so I start I just put it on local

so I start I just put it on local machine and started like started with a

machine and started like started with a good first issue the community helped me

good first issue the community helped me and the mentor were very helpful so I

and the mentor were very helpful so I was like I started contributing a lot

was like I started contributing a lot like it was like I wake up in the

like it was like I wake up in the morning I started contributing and at

morning I started contributing and at the night I was still contributing like

the night I was still contributing like I had like I like for 10 hours I was

I had like I like for 10 hours I was contributing for the first five six

contributing for the first five six seven days to make an impact so that was

seven days to make an impact so that was very helpful for me and that did help uh

very helpful for me and that did help uh so I would say I made few like five PRS

so I would say I made few like five PRS uh three were very big and after the

uh three were very big and after the application period I still was

application period I still was contributing till 27th of April so I was

contributing till 27th of April so I was mainly working on test cases to like

mainly working on test cases to like show them that yes I can write test

show them that yes I can write test cases so

cases so yep I am credible nice that's super cool

yep I am credible nice that's super cool and what's your current project that

and what's your current project that you're working on uh so this project

you're working on uh so this project mainly involves generating discharge

mainly involves generating discharge reports so I have to optimize the

reports so I have to optimize the discharge reports generation so it is

discharge reports generation so it is basically the previous tack was using

basically the previous tack was using chromium like we have to like we are

chromium like we have to like we are using a HTML rendering it on the Chrome

using a HTML rendering it on the Chrome and then taking a PDF out of it so it

and then taking a PDF out of it so it was very inefficient so what I was I am

was very inefficient so what I was I am doing right now I am using a tool called

doing right now I am using a tool called types which which is much similar to

types which which is much similar to latex so I'm using that and generating

latex so I'm using that and generating PDFs now so the generation time have

PDFs now so the generation time have decreased to like 15 16 times and the

decreased to like 15 16 times and the build that was initially due to chromium

build that was initially due to chromium was about 1.5 GBS it have reduced to

was about 1.5 GBS it have reduced to like 1.2 and also the memory uh uses

like 1.2 and also the memory uh uses have also come down so I had to present

have also come down so I had to present that in Benchmark to make my proposal

that in Benchmark to make my proposal more solid that really helped me out all

more solid that really helped me out all right that makes a lot of sense um and

right that makes a lot of sense um and so most of your project I would assume

so most of your project I would assume is in Python

is in Python Jango y python Jango first AP got it

Jango y python Jango first AP got it makes sense so you mentioned this was a

makes sense so you mentioned this was a new organization um you still made five

new organization um you still made five poll requests do you think you got in

poll requests do you think you got in based on the PRS or do you think your

based on the PRS or do you think your proposal SL you know talking to the

proposal SL you know talking to the mentors also

mentors also helped um I would say both like there

helped um I would say both like there were few peoples who were very active

were few peoples who were very active but hadn't had create much bigger we are

but hadn't had create much bigger we are like had like was creating one line two

like had like was creating one line two line brother so I so I my PR were mostly

line brother so I so I my PR were mostly related first was the good first issue

related first was the good first issue that helped me understand the code base

that helped me understand the code base then there were migration like data

then there were migration like data migration Jango have migration so I have

migration Jango have migration so I have to create Uh custom migrations create so

to create Uh custom migrations create so they were pretty big so y i so that also

they were pretty big so y i so that also since it is a big PR I have to talk a

since it is a big PR I have to talk a lot to the mentors so that helped me

lot to the mentors so that helped me interact with the mentor more and that

interact with the mentor more and that like like the through and forth of like

like like the through and forth of like conversation help me make an impact on

conversation help me make an impact on the mentor that yep I'm capable and I

the mentor that yep I'm capable and I can do what I will

can do what I will showing in my proposal also the mentor

showing in my proposal also the mentor always help us to create our proposal

always help us to create our proposal like always help us to redefine our

like always help us to redefine our proposal so proposal will be I will say

proposal so proposal will be I will say secondary thing the main thing will be

secondary thing the main thing will be PR primary thing you have to create good

PR primary thing you have to create good PR and proposal will be say after you

PR and proposal will be say after you have made an impact to the mentors The

have made an impact to the mentors The Proposal doesn't hold much value got it

Proposal doesn't hold much value got it makes sense so you mentioned you were

makes sense so you mentioned you were very active with the maintainers

very active with the maintainers primarily because you were working on

primarily because you were working on big issues um and you know there was a

big issues um and you know there was a lot of back and forth do you think it

lot of back and forth do you think it would have been the same if you were

would have been the same if you were working on small issues and still you

working on small issues and still you know asking them SL pinging them from

know asking them SL pinging them from time to time do you think they respected

time to time do you think they respected you more because you were picking up

you more because you were picking up these big

these big issues yep I would say like there uh I

issues yep I would say like there uh I was doing uh I would say yeah so that

was doing uh I would say yeah so that made an impact like it made me more

made an impact like it made me more credible like if I'm doing like one line

credible like if I'm doing like one line change I'm just changing a few lines and

change I'm just changing a few lines and doing raising a PR and telling them I

doing raising a PR and telling them I did this I did that it will like they

did this I did that it will like they won't think of me of my like but if I'm

won't think of me of my like but if I'm creating like big PRS and like it was

creating like big PRS and like it was like 15 15 20 like 150 200 lines of code

like 15 15 20 like 150 200 lines of code for the migration itself and like having

for the migration itself and like having to update the Json and and look so one

to update the Json and and look so one of my PR right now I I had to update

of my PR right now I I had to update Json file in it so the static file I

Json file in it so the static file I updated so it have like over a 1 million

updated so it have like over a 1 million line of changes so I have I will be like

line of changes so I have I will be like recognized when someone will see top

recognized when someone will see top contributor my name should be seen

contributor my name should be seen that's funny makes a lot of sense yeah

that's funny makes a lot of sense yeah it seems like you were able to dive

it seems like you were able to dive right into the code because you were

right into the code because you were really good at Django and you've been

really good at Django and you've been doing it for the past one year or so is

doing it for the past one year or so is that correct uh I wouldn't say I'm

that correct uh I wouldn't say I'm really good I would say like I'm average

really good I would say like I'm average like I'm not very good corre if yeah so

like I'm not very good corre if yeah so so I would say like contributing to a

so I would say like contributing to a framework like Jango is much tougher

framework like Jango is much tougher than contributing to an organization

than contributing to an organization that is built on top of like so my

that is built on top of like so my organization work in Jango so I have

organization work in Jango so I have also worked in Jango so that's simple

also worked in Jango so that's simple but when you start contributing the

but when you start contributing the organization like Jango it's much

organization like Jango it's much complex so I was trying to contribute

complex so I was trying to contribute like to Jango I went to and seen their

like to Jango I went to and seen their code bases there were few things that

code bases there were few things that even the python syntax didn't seem

even the python syntax didn't seem familiar there so it was really tough

familiar there so it was really tough but once you get a hang of it you can do

but once you get a hang of it you can do it so you have to start contributing to

it so you have to start contributing to D Jango like a big framework like Jango

D Jango like a big framework like Jango you have to start early like a month or

you have to start early like a month or two earlier so that you can understand

two earlier so that you can understand the cach better makes a lot of sense

the cach better makes a lot of sense yeah cool man that's all the questions I

yeah cool man that's all the questions I had so hey shyan could you introduce

had so hey shyan could you introduce yourself I'm my name is shyan Mani I am

yourself I'm my name is shyan Mani I am from National Institute of Technology

from National Institute of Technology durgapur nit durgapur studying ptech

durgapur nit durgapur studying ptech computer science engineering and I have

computer science engineering and I have cracked gof this year under rocket chat

cracked gof this year under rocket chat organization under the project uh guided

organization under the project uh guided tools guided graphical guided tools

tools guided graphical guided tools that's my project which I will be

that's my project which I will be working on amazing when did you start to

working on amazing when did you start to code I started to code after my J I'm a

code I started to code after my J I'm a dropper and act I mean the coding

dropper and act I mean the coding Journey started back in the school where

Journey started back in the school where it was Java because I'm from icsc board

it was Java because I'm from icsc board so it's Java but it was very very little

so it's Java but it was very very little little things were taught there actual

little things were taught there actual Journey started after my drop year after

Journey started after my drop year after the J went J was done and I got my 99

the J went J was done and I got my 99 percentile I was happy after that and I

percentile I was happy after that and I started coding and that's how things

started coding and that's how things started it got it so what was your

started it got it so what was your primary text stack what do you usually

primary text stack what do you usually code in do you do DSA do you do web

code in do you do DSA do you do web development app

development app development okay my primary text stack

development okay my primary text stack is M Stack I do web development and I do

is M Stack I do web development and I do DSA I I do DSA a lot and it's in C++ got

DSA I I do DSA a lot and it's in C++ got it makes a lot of sense uh interesting

it makes a lot of sense uh interesting and you said you're in your second year

and you said you're in your second year so that's pretty early for you to crack

so that's pretty early for you to crack G could you share when did you start

G could you share when did you start contributing how many proposals did you

contributing how many proposals did you make how many contributions did you make

make how many contributions did you make sorry

sorry yes sir so absolutely uh I just started

yes sir so absolutely uh I just started contributing back in uh I mean I

contributing back in uh I mean I remember my first PR got merged in 7

remember my first PR got merged in 7 December 2023 so okay and uh that's how

December 2023 so okay and uh that's how I started contributing it was a very

I started contributing it was a very struggling period because I I wanted to

struggling period because I I wanted to crack J but I couldn't even set up the

crack J but I couldn't even set up the project I was searing searching for

project I was searing searching for organizations I searched here and there

organizations I searched here and there but uh after that what I did was that I

but uh after that what I did was that I saw that rocket CH text that matched

saw that rocket CH text that matched Mine It Was Written in JavaScript and

Mine It Was Written in JavaScript and typescript I knew that and why not to

typescript I knew that and why not to Deep dive into it rather than exploring

Deep dive into it rather than exploring other text like Python and all so I just

other text like Python and all so I just Deep dive into it contacted a mentor not

Deep dive into it contacted a mentor not a mentor that time it was adiya Singh he

a mentor that time it was adiya Singh he was also in your post podcast last year

was also in your post podcast last year if you remember right right and yes yes

if you remember right right and yes yes I contacted him it I contacted him

I contacted him it I contacted him before your podcast like uh it was

before your podcast like uh it was through the rocket CH Gmail rocket chat

through the rocket CH Gmail rocket chat organization GitHub page I found that

organization GitHub page I found that LinkedIn and I contacted him I asked him

LinkedIn and I contacted him I asked him how can I set up the project how should

how can I set up the project how should I approach him approach the code base he

I approach him approach the code base he told me do this do that and I it took me

told me do this do that and I it took me three days I remember it took me three

three days I remember it took me three days to even set up the project and I

days to even set up the project and I started contributing I did one PR it got

started contributing I did one PR it got merged in 7 December after I think a

merged in 7 December after I think a week but by

week but by what first January I had eight pool

what first January I had eight pool requests merged two pool requests which

requests merged two pool requests which were left to be merged I mean they were

were left to be merged I mean they were in open State and the whole January

in open State and the whole January there is a rocket chat there is a leader

there is a rocket chat there is a leader board also like they maintain a leader

board also like they maintain a leader board who is on the top in the whole

board who is on the top in the whole January period I was number one there

January period I was number one there whole around the world I think because

whole around the world I think because contributors are around the world so but

contributors are around the world so but after that there was academic challenges

after that there was academic challenges I couldn't focus that much so I just

I couldn't focus that much so I just fell to number four I'm currently number

fell to number four I'm currently number four right now so that's how things went

four right now so that's how things went that's the whole story that is super

that's the whole story that is super cool so rocket chart is extremely

cool so rocket chart is extremely competitive organization right A lot of

competitive organization right A lot of people are contributing there yes sir

people are contributing there yes sir it's very competitive I can tell you

it's very competitive I can tell you that it's compe are you the reason for

that it's compe are you the reason for the competition you were 14 that's so

the competition you were 14 that's so it's like very hard to even find an

it's like very hard to even find an issue someone else picks it up so would

issue someone else picks it up so would love to know what was your approach how

love to know what was your approach how are you finding so many issues and

are you finding so many issues and fixing them so

fixing them so quickly uh sir it I mean the whole thing

quickly uh sir it I mean the whole thing was was that I used to go to the issue

was was that I used to go to the issue space there are many issues I see them

space there are many issues I see them can I solve it because I in rockets at

can I solve it because I in rockets at the back end part I was not

the back end part I was not understanding it initially now I

understanding it initially now I understand it not ultimately but still

understand it not ultimately but still decent much but on the front end part

decent much but on the front end part since every changes like commenting out

since every changes like commenting out a part I can see the reflection of it or

a part I can see the reflection of it or what actually broke the GUI so I was

what actually broke the GUI so I was most mostly focusing on the front end

most mostly focusing on the front end part and then what I used used to do I

part and then what I used used to do I go to the issues page I used to go to

go to the issues page I used to go to all the issues like I visited issues

all the issues like I visited issues from 3 to 5 years before also all the

from 3 to 5 years before also all the issues I go there can I do it or can't I

issues I go there can I do it or can't I do it in my free time I used to figure

do it in my free time I used to figure it out because by seeing it you if you

it out because by seeing it you if you know the code base decently if you study

know the code base decently if you study the code base you can understand it if

the code base you can understand it if it can be done by you or not so I used

it can be done by you or not so I used to go there I used to in my free time I

to go there I used to in my free time I used to Fig I mean figure out three to

used to Fig I mean figure out three to five issues write it down write the link

five issues write it down write the link in my WhatsApp or something and used to

in my WhatsApp or something and used to sit there and until I fix one issue I

sit there and until I fix one issue I won't pick up I won't

won't pick up I won't go yeah that's how things went that's

go yeah that's how things went that's how my December went because my third

how my December went because my third semester ended on December so I had that

semester ended on December so I had that one not December sorry on November I had

one not December sorry on November I had my whole December empty nothing to do so

my whole December empty nothing to do so I did this amazing that's how how many

I did this amazing that's how how many hours were you contributing in December

hours were you contributing in December oh to be honest the full day because

oh to be honest the full day because complete day because uh I mean many

complete day because uh I mean many people can do it quickly and I was not

people can do it quickly and I was not among that quick thing I was very slow I

among that quick thing I was very slow I need to understand maybe because rocket

need to understand maybe because rocket CH code base is so complex it's just I

CH code base is so complex it's just I just couldn't even understand from which

just couldn't even understand from which component which component is getting

component which component is getting called from here I need to learn other

called from here I need to learn other debug debugging tools also like in the

debug debugging tools also like in the Chrome I just realized you there is a

Chrome I just realized you there is a debugger option also and from there you

debugger option also and from there you can see the values all those kinds of

can see the values all those kinds of things I used to also draw also from

things I used to also draw also from which component which component is

which component which component is getting called how the values are

getting called how the values are changing and uh after that after you

changing and uh after that after you spend like whole day you just realize

spend like whole day you just realize you needed to do this little I mean two

you needed to do this little I mean two to three pieces of changes and things

to three pieces of changes and things work that's how things went there makes

work that's how things went there makes sense Mak sense maybe that answers the

sense Mak sense maybe that answers the question maybe I deviated a little more

question maybe I deviated a little more no that answers pretty well and then

no that answers pretty well and then January may your college started so were

January may your college started so were you also actively contributing after

you also actively contributing after that until March

that until March April uh like like I had eight PRS

April uh like like I had eight PRS merged and after that I had two PRS

merged and after that I had two PRS merged so total 10 got it but since

merged so total 10 got it but since after that there was not so much time I

after that there was not so much time I didn't I was not able to contribute that

didn't I was not able to contribute that much directly to the code base but to

much directly to the code base but to the community like rocket chat is in

the community like rocket chat is in chat app so I used to talk to my mentors

chat app so I used to talk to my mentors the other PRS help them out like many

the other PRS help them out like many random people used to text me or call me

random people used to text me or call me that there is this issue how should I

that there is this issue how should I fix it and I used to solve it I used to

fix it and I used to solve it I used to tell them I used to tell them about if

tell them I used to tell them about if you can't set it up locally used

you can't set it up locally used Docker and that's how things went not

Docker and that's how things went not directly to the code B but to the

directly to the code B but to the community because Community is important

community because Community is important I guess makes a lot of sense and if

I guess makes a lot of sense and if someone wants to contribute to Rocket

someone wants to contribute to Rocket chat how many people were into rocket

chat how many people were into rocket chat this

chat this year this year there are 17 people which

year this year there are 17 people which enter Rock got it so it's a pretty big

enter Rock got it so it's a pretty big organization which means you know gets a

organization which means you know gets a lot of students but it's also a lot of

lot of students but it's also a lot of competition so what would be your advice

competition so what would be your advice to you know come to the top of the

to you know come to the top of the contributors chart for someone who's

contributors chart for someone who's just starting

just starting out okay so even if you're not on top of

out okay so even if you're not on top of the contributor's chat you will make it

the contributor's chat you will make it but it just increases your chances like

but it just increases your chances like being on top increases your chances and

being on top increases your chances and my advice will be to keep a good main

my advice will be to keep a good main have a healthy relation with the mentors

have a healthy relation with the mentors just keep them talking to them directly

just keep them talking to them directly ask for them with to the peers also and

ask for them with to the peers also and to contribute uh regularly means you

to contribute uh regularly means you should go to the Cod base even if you

should go to the Cod base even if you are not getting an issue just keep the

are not getting an issue just keep the Cod base open try to understand this

Cod base open try to understand this that and those if you are really

that and those if you are really interested in contributing then you must

interested in contributing then you must do these things regularly and the in the

do these things regularly and the in the issues section also there will be

issues section also there will be newcomers who will be asking that silly

newcomers who will be asking that silly question silly I won't say silly because

question silly I won't say silly because it's a newcomer it's a new mean they

it's a newcomer it's a new mean they don't know it you must answer them like

don't know it you must answer them like in the whole Jan whole December period

in the whole Jan whole December period my answers were there flooded with the

my answers were there flooded with the rocket chat GitHub so yes that's how I

rocket chat GitHub so yes that's how I will recommend some new hope that

will recommend some new hope that answers your question yeah it's perfect

answers your question yeah it's perfect do you have uh so Durga po you said

do you have uh so Durga po you said right yes yes yes is that a tier one

right yes yes yes is that a tier one college or tier two nit it's a tier 1.5

college or tier two nit it's a tier 1.5 you can go okay TI 1.5 so do you have

you can go okay TI 1.5 so do you have great peers uh you said you're in

great peers uh you said you're in computer science I would assume you know

computer science I would assume you know it was you have good peers so what's the

it was you have good peers so what's the importance of finding peers locally in

importance of finding peers locally in your college or did you find communities

your college or did you find communities people outside your college that you

people outside your college that you know you're close with right

know you're close with right now what actually challenge I fa in my

now what actually challenge I fa in my college is that many most of the people

college is that many most of the people are academically motivated I mean they

are academically motivated I mean they want to get the great cgpa but not into

want to get the great cgpa but not into the greatest Tex stack and not into I

the greatest Tex stack and not into I mean they don't want to explore I

mean they don't want to explore I founded that and I find it this common

founded that and I find it this common in other colleges also so peer wise I

in other colleges also so peer wise I didn't found much yes I have peers who

didn't found much yes I have peers who are also I mean they also doing great

are also I mean they also doing great and they want to do great also but in

and they want to do great also but in rocket share and open source

rocket share and open source contribution I was solo there was no one

contribution I was solo there was no one I did it all by myself got it and you

I did it all by myself got it and you have generally a peer group that you

have generally a peer group that you talk Tech about yes yes obviously

talk Tech about yes yes obviously obviously yes that's mandat we I have

obviously yes that's mandat we I have some people three to four people we

some people three to four people we generally share

generally share mostly those discussions are about uh CP

mostly those discussions are about uh CP I mean computer programming DSA this

I mean computer programming DSA this kind of stuff or like hackathons which

kind of stuff or like hackathons which is coming up those are the general

is coming up those are the general discussions which I generally have all

discussions which I generally have all it that makes a lot of sense cool man

it that makes a lot of sense cool man that's all I had thank you so much so

that's all I had thank you so much so could you introduce

could you introduce yourself hi everyone my name is m

yourself hi everyone my name is m currently a second year student at it uh

currently a second year student at it uh my degree is mechanical but uh I am

my degree is mechanical but uh I am doing coding so that's a bit odd uh

doing coding so that's a bit odd uh that's all all right when did you start

that's all all right when did you start to code considering you're in mechanical

to code considering you're in mechanical uh I'm uh I would say second

year development start I development Stu I have uh started from second year

I have uh started from second year second year or second

second year or second semester got it and what was your what

semester got it and what was your what did you start doing development in uh uh

did you start doing development in uh uh I have started with web development and

I have started with web development and currently learning P stuff mostly with

currently learning P stuff mostly with go got it makes sense uh what is your

go got it makes sense uh what is your organization that you got in

Andi did you see the videos yes yes you have contributed to CLI right yes yes

have contributed to CLI right yes yes yes what did you contribute to I have

yes what did you contribute to I have contri to most of the project

I got it so you contribute to most repos there what is your final g

there what is your final g project it is aing generator uh it is uh

project it is aing generator uh it is uh it is interesting project uh so the

it is interesting project uh so the project is to become the maintainer of

project is to become the maintainer of the repo the project so you'll maintain

the repo the project so you'll maintain that specific rep repositor coming from

that specific rep repositor coming from yes got it and what does the generator

yes got it and what does the generator repo do uh generator is basically uh

repo do uh generator is basically uh template generator you know event

template generator you know event architecture so so there is many

architecture so so there is many generator like many template generator

generator like many template generator like HTML template generator react

like HTML template generator react generator

generator so generator Depot holds the core of it

so generator Depot holds the core of it there is there is side of it like HTML

there is there is side of it like HTML temperate renderer react renderer and

temperate renderer react renderer and many of many render but generator rep

many of many render but generator rep holds core the core of the uh generator

holds core the core of the uh generator okay so Asing API is a spec right it's

okay so Asing API is a spec right it's basically a file where you can write

basically a file where you can write what your back end looks like graph C

what your back end looks like graph C looks like things like these yes

looks like things like these yes yes most similar to open API very

yes most similar to open API very similar to open API so what is the

similar to open API so what is the generator does it let you generate

generator does it let you generate clients from on top of this specific API

clients from on top of this specific API spec file what does a generator

spec file what does a generator do

do uh What uh what what do you mean clients

uh What uh what what do you mean clients oh clients okay never mind if if you

oh clients okay never mind if if you don't understand that probably does not

don't understand that probably does not create clients clients basically mean

create clients clients basically mean you know uh Javas automatically

you know uh Javas automatically generated JavaScript code yes yes it's

generated JavaScript code yes yes it's that only oh it's that only Okay Okay

that only oh it's that only Okay Okay cool so you have the file and you can

cool so you have the file and you can automatically generate goang code

automatically generate goang code JavaScript code yes okay yes this I'm

JavaScript code yes okay yes this I'm assuming would have already been

there so you just have to come and maintain it

how many people acing API take this year uh Asing API come as a uh umbrella or of

uh Asing API come as a uh umbrella or of uh Postman I think you know that

good seven 78 W in like a bunch of

78 W in like a bunch of repositories

yes before you got in that you think is a big before you got in

schema you can create an

an AP from visually right uh oh visually

AP from visually right uh oh visually can you show like fin

can you show like fin deploy so like this an example schema

deploy so like this an example schema like there you can create so let's say

like there you can create so let's say we need to create

we need to create uh this is the final spec

file very cool makes sense most woulde react

say thank you so much for com do you have any questions for me we have for

have any questions for me we have for moment yeah uh sure so I was my I mean

moment yeah uh sure so I was my I mean my only my a few few of my questions

my only my a few few of my questions were essential

were essential uh you talk about how you know you have

uh you talk about how you know you have to Showcase your work for people to like

to Showcase your work for people to like get job for you to get jobs and stuff

get job for you to get jobs and stuff and when it's not frontend heavy how

and when it's not frontend heavy how exactly do you showcase you know like

exactly do you showcase you know like let's say cloud development or you know

let's say cloud development or you know uh Dock devops and ml in the ml I think

uh Dock devops and ml in the ml I think you but devops and Cloud specifically

you but devops and Cloud specifically yeah devops is a little tricky generally

yeah devops is a little tricky generally though I when I say showcase I don't

though I when I say showcase I don't really mean you know tweet out you've

really mean you know tweet out you've made something I usually just mean you

made something I usually just mean you know you've contributed somewhere and

know you've contributed somewhere and everyone can look at it so I think the

everyone can look at it so I think the answer Remains the Same if you're

answer Remains the Same if you're contributing in a devops heavy project

contributing in a devops heavy project if you're contributing to it is or if

if you're contributing to it is or if you're adding a Docker file to whatever

you're adding a Docker file to whatever an open source project it's out there

an open source project it's out there that's what I mean by showcasing a lot

that's what I mean by showcasing a lot of people say you tweet out it helps I

of people say you tweet out it helps I don't think that's necessarily true um

don't think that's necessarily true um so yeah that's my two sense okay and

so yeah that's my two sense okay and what platforms do you think are right

what platforms do you think are right now like you know the best to get like a

now like you know the best to get like a remote job from the US platforms are

remote job from the US platforms are tricky um I can tell you topt is great U

tricky um I can tell you topt is great U it's very hard to get in their interview
