Hi,
It’s been almost a bit over a year since I was looking through the forums here, and it’s been a wild ride since. I was active around August/September 2018 (I know, because I had put it on my LinkedIn profile at the time ). Here are some highlights of the things I’ve done since then.
Hacktoberfest
It happened, 2018 and 2019. In 2018, most of my PRs typos in README’s and such. In 2019, I opened some pull requests which were more code-related.
Received my First Pull Request
While I haven’t contributed that much to open-source code , I’ve opened an open-source project here
. It’s just a list of coding resources, but it’s gotten a fair amount of traction considering it’s less than a month old.
Still Learning
I improved my ReactJS, learned MongoDB and Express, and grew in my design skills. I learned about making discord bots with discord.js, making static blogs with jekyll, and I even built a tiny cms with authentication.
Moderator
I spent eight months as a moderator on a discord server called Design Course (Coursetro),and wrote about my experience on https://binyam.in/blog/my-year-as-a-moderator and on https://dev.to/b3u/my-year-as-a-moderator-73l
PS: I also registered my first domain name the other day. It’s https://binyam.in, for my personal website and blog.
