Every time I talk about open source, my eyes start tearing up 🥹

I've seen so many people during my 15 year career span go from a student and contributor to a very successful developer. Time has been going so fast, people I've mentored are now in higher level positions or even Founders now!

Your first contribution isn't the end of the road. Remember, it's the start of something bigger and greater, and that's been my entire career journey.

I had a great time speaking in todays Hacktoberfest's closing event today on how open source can build your career, and what's next.

Get good at open source contributions using AI coding agents.

"AI is not replacing open source contributors. It is giving them new ways to participate. Sustainable collaboration depends on transparency, respect, and careful review. Tools like SpecStory preserve not only code, but also the reasoning behind it, which makes reviews faster and more instructive for everyone."

The Hacktoberfest hype was real in Hyderabad. 👾🇮🇳

Huge thank you to @harnessio, @LitmusChaos, & everyone who came to build with us. We're just getting started!

As AI coding tools are becoming a natural part of every developer’s workflow, open source collaboration is evolving too

We teamed up with the amazing folks at @digitalocean to publish a new guide:
"How to Be an Open Source Hero: Contributing AI-Generated Code with Care"

In it, we explore:
- How to use AI coding tools responsibly in open source projects
- Best practices for contributors and maintainers
- When and how to disclose AI-assisted code
- Real-world examples of ethical, transparent collaboration

Aim is to make open source development more inclusive, transparent, and future-ready together. ✨
