Closing notes

I'm immensely grateful to my mentors, the Zulip community, and Google for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. I learned a lot this past summer. From reading code to writing code to collaborating and debugging. It's great to see your code being used in real-world software.

I will continue contributing to Zulip and helping out new contributors spreading the joy of open source.
