Now what is Open Source and why You as a developer should do it the OS Way

Open Source is Everywhere. The term "open source" refers to something people can modify and share because its design is publicly accessible.

  • It is here to stay.
  • It is a great way to get seen
  • It makes job haunting a lot easier
  • A lot of contributors from diverse sphere of the world, this means more audience

There are some misconceptions about open source.

You don’t need to be a badass dev to contribute to an open source project.

gain... Think of it as

stepping stones to

becoming better
