More recently i have contributed to an open source project. There is a little story behind that.
Contributing accidentally
One late night i was going through the one of the article , quite interesting one. The article explain how there are social platform bots behave as human and what are the cons of such. The article was informative , i learned about the possible use case of machine learning.
Once done with article, my curiosity led me to find if there is any library or something which can determine if post by an social account is a bot or not. Being Back-end developer you think that way, can't help it.
I found this botornot-python library. I installed the library and tried it out. And then i went through the source code of that, i found one little stuff which can be done in better way. Next step was to fix that and open a pull request keeping finger crossed. :)
The owner of the library gladly accepted contribution, thanks to him.
And it was my first open source contribution, hurray !!!. I felt so exited and satisfied since from long time i have been looking for that moment.
Motivation
Its about contributing to make project better with best of my ability and to learn from open source community.
Keep it going
As they say best place to look for project to contribute are the ones which you are already using.
faker is a interesting library that i have been using from long time for writing unit tests. After about a week or so i contributed to the same project, joy was more this time.
So this how i started my open source contribution, thanks for reading.
