  • Thanks to you and Kunal Kushwaha we are getting to know about the domain of remote work and the benefits of open source contributions.
  • Thanks Harkirat for this wonderful explanation. Like the quote on you wall: "Create a life you don't need vacation from"

    Honestly, someone showing the actual process of doing open source in a real project, telling which projects to choose to contribute to, how to do it step by step. it's highly appreciable. Open Sourcing tutorial with this much detail was not available on Youtube.

    This series is gonna be a blast. Also, I noticed they are using Turborepo to manage those apps and packages. I was a little confused because most NextJs apps don't have that structure and the crazy configurations.
