My dive into Software Development

Pranshu, Rohan, Divyasheel and I, as a team of 4 were partiipating in an hackathon at Advitya IIT Ropar. That sleepless night I remember when these three were doing all the development and stuff, I was just thinking where can I help. I was just able to provide moral support to the project as I didn't have any knowledge and most importantly I feared development a lot. It was Februrary 2020 and I didn't have any clue of development while my friends were making all cool stuffs. Even after this self realization, I didn't do anything to learn this in college. That one month, I just spent in romaing, travelling and chilling with friends. Then due to Corona, we were sent back home saying holidays of 15 days xD.

Fast forward to a month later, I got to know that Pranshu and Rohan created a 7up-7down game. I was just wow and honestly for me Rohan and Pranshu were not less than Development gods of my year. I asked them what they used and how they created it. I got to know about flask from Rohan. So, I started with it.

My GSoC Experience with Zulip as a student

It helps you get to know how the real open source works, how experienced developers discuss and tackle various problems.

An overview of my project can be found here.

My Experience

Interacting on CZO, I learned may new things like writing node tests, thinking process while solving issues, having group discussions and communicating ideas. The Zulip community is very friendly and whenever you get stuck at something, the community is there to help. The documentations and examples are really well maintained that helps in working on any area easier on Zulip. From a developer's persp
