Motivation
“I am a person who believes your start determines how long you can run, and I am glad that I’ve been surrounded by highly passionate and inspiring individuals who always amaze and motivate me with their eagerness for learning and their passion for work. Being an open-source advocator, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and explaining complex topics in simple terms. Taking up an open-source project and contributing to it through bug reporting or pull requests helps me provide back to the community and improve my coding skills. Answering community questions improves my debugging skills and presents me with new challenges that might not have come up in my own project yet. This way I can be ready to address the problem when it arises in my project, rather than waiting to search for a solution only after the problem arises.”
