@irshadsiddi1911 It's mostly random tbh...
So far I've mostly contributed to the projects that I've myself used a lot. And if the tech stack used there is familiar, I try to dig deeper :)
@Sleeepyyii Not much difference tbh...
Professional electives are more like extra CSE subjects, while open electives are generally from other branches so you can explore something outside your core field.
My sister suggested me to create an X account after seeing a bunch of tech accounts.
Started with #DayXofLearningY posts, then projects, then open source, hackathons, and a lot of opportunities I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Never looked back since :-)
Share the lore of you joining X ๐
Here's mine:
Since joining college, I always struggled to find ambitious, like-minded people around me.
I thought joining clubs would help, so I joined pretty much every good tech club in my college hoping to connect with people who were building cool things and seniors I could learn from.
But even after that, it still felt like something was missing. The environment I wanted just wasn't there.
That's when I decided to join X.
I wanted to stay updated with what's happening in tech, but more importantly, I wanted to be around people who were building, learning, and sharing their journey publicly.
Since the beginning, my goal wasn't just to consume content but to create it as well
I also wanted a place to document my journey. It helps me track progress and stay accountable
So on December 9, I started the #100DaysOfCode challenge.
One post a day. Just showing up and sharing what I was learning.
And it worked.
I completed the challenge, made some great friends along the way, and found the kind of environment I was looking for in the first place.
Today, 1.5k+ people are following along with my journey, which is honestly something I never expected when I made that first post.
Your turn :)
Today was an emotional rollercoaster.
Something happened that made my day so much better.
An hour later, something else happened and completely ruined all of that.
It's hard to enjoy the good moments when they don't last.
Not sure what's going on with my luck these days...
