      @@scrapycholo2659 tbh open source requires way more contributors than what we have now, problem is not in the numbers but in lack of awareness of the right way to do things, people like @t3dotgg are necessary to channel that mass to the right way to contribute, I'm sure a certain community of people today finds open source a novel niche thing but if guided properly can solve so many unresolved open source projects. The thing in tech is there is not enough skilled people, there is way too many people with an average knowledge in tech than people who knows really what they are doing.

      indian devs have never been respected in the workforce (at least not in europe). only reason they're hired is because of the price. nothing else. if a dev praises an indian dev, it's seen as an exception and not the norm.
      These are just the facts.

    Honestly the accountability in this video was mindblowing. I've seen this general shift towards "open sourcing to land a job rather than for the goodwill of the project" happen for quite some time now, but I'd argue the real takeaway from your videos have been the fact that contributing to projects you genuinely wanna help improve also benefits yourself.
    I wouldn't blame you for others taking what you preach out of context (although I have to admit, your channel did pop into my head when I watched Theo's vid a couple days back)

    • @martenkahr3365
      @martenkahr3365 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Paraphrasing something I saw elsewhere on the same topic: There's a difference between actually trying to improve yourself by learning how to contribute and trying to manipulate productive contributors of an open source project to mentor you for free by pretending you want to learn how to contribute. And this is something that goes beyond just trying to get a minimal-effort open source contribution to fill a checkbox on your resume.

    That 1 year montage made me tear up slightly. so inspired by you always kirat bhaiya. Lucky to find a mentor, an old brother in you. I dropped out of college in May last week and the cohort started in june , like it was meant to be! I didn't have any exceptional coding journey behind me , never had written a line in javascript before. Here i'm today with 3 websites made for clients, that are live and are in use everyday! and still a lot to learn. While slowly i started to become self reliant and mostly learnt from docs, and didn't have to solely depend on the cohort, but since i have dropped out from college, the cohort gives me structure and also various insights from your experience. The value this cohort provided me is priceless :)

    I have liked how Harkirat has been transparent about everything he has done till now. One of the most real content creators out there. Good developers will definitely relate to your content on CZcams and try to make the most out of any video you post. Regarding the open source controversy, it was bound to happen as we Indians often have a habit of trying to find shortcuts in everything whether be it DSA for jobs or OS for jobs. The main idea is that all these are basically the skills necessary for every developer, and there is no one short path to success. Everything takes time and, therefore, sincere effort. Anyways, all the best to whoever is reading this comment, and I hope you get to learn something. Jai Shree Ram!

  • @ToadieBog
    @ToadieBog Před 5 měsíci +14

    It's not just github contributions. Over the years I've seen common practices hurt the overall software engineering effort rather than help. Some examples are throwing bodies at a problem, titles like senior software engineer, architect, etc being more important than the actual skill and experience, and being resistant to newer ways of doing things simply because they are unfamiliar. I don't know if it's a cultural thing or what, but it's a huge problem in the software engineering industry that no one seems to want to talk about.

Everyone is trying to cut corners and trying to make quick money landing in tech companies. This is making a lot of passionate engineers look bad .

But I never ever felt, there wasn't even any thot that you were one of the reason behind this. And of course you are not. You never told people to do such contributions. You always had put the disclaimers in your videos. You always warned us about not to do these ugly contribution which doesn't have any value. You always told the right way to contribute. It's the people who didn't take things seriously. It's not at all your fault bro. You have made impact on our life in such a positive way.

      Honestly, it is not just restricted to the Indian community. My previous employer, which was a startup from India, outsourced development of a MVP for our mobile app to some Ukrainian agency. It was a hodgepodge of stuff taken, presumably from their past projects, with lots of vestige, especially their sync system, which was obviously taken from one of their previous projects, but made no sense for this project. I red-flagged this to management and even offered to greenfield the project, but was turned down. I continued for a year before quitting, because it became unmaintainable.

    Interesting video Mr Singh.

I agree with one of the commenters below: try to create your own project. Companies will be much more interested in the fact that you can design and develop something from the ground up. I think we should look at contributing to open source because we want to and not because we believe it will land us a high-paying job.

    100% on point. I'm a long time OSS dev. Mid 90's. I had to comment when I saw the fork and shadow bullet point. One of the most annoying things is getting devs asking you to add them to your repo with write permission, because they are unfamiliar with Git's forking. OR another pain point is they made a PR from a fork but once they made the PR they never touch it and update it again. Now you can be left in a situation of do you lift their changes into a new PR and essentially steal and discredit their contribution or do you try to chase them down to update their branch. If you fork the repo and make a PR, try to keep it shadowed. If you make a PR but than later you know you won't be available for whatever reason, close the PR with a one line message. "Can't maintain PR branch because I will be away on business." Most developers will do a contribution note or wait for you to return.
    There is some cultural differences too. Like some cultures like to preserve code while many want to refactor-all-the-things. This can cause friction in the open source world. Try to be observant of what type of culture the repo owner is and match their style and design. I have made PR's and allowed the owner to close them because they wanted to implement my code suggestions in a refactor I would rather not do. If the owner is not a jerk they will note your contributions in a documentation usually. If they are jerks, don't worry about it. Just move on. Letting yourself get frustrated from other engineers is a quick way to end up on a list of people not to work with. Better you keep your cool and note not to work with them then to lash out and you get on that list. Chances are others saw what they did and they too have added the owner of that repo owner to their list of people to avoid. OSS is full of drama... try to avoid it at all cost.

    Honestly I have seen the quality of code improve dramatically over the past 10 years. When outsourcing first became a thing it was very difficult since I spent many days rewriting code that was produced from the outsourced company. Today I have a team - outsourced - and I know they will give me quality code. It's just a matter of evolving into the industry. The industry was started in the west and in America we had desktop PCs as far back as the 1970s. We have had a lot of years to perfect our art. Indians will catch up, and knowing how creative they can be I'm sure they will surpass many along the way.

    Bro low key asked to stop contributing altogether. Apart from personal projects on open sources, I find it difficult to make myself actually raise a pull request. I always felt that if it was really required, maintainers might already would have done it. If they aren't, there must be a reason.
    This actually happened when we were making changes in an opensource dashboarding tool for our internal tool and a new version already came up with it.

      @@shedfurif you are experienced with basic structure of coding practice for whatever application you looking at, you can probably skip over most of the part.
      Best way is to practice creating a small scale version of same projects. You will get most idea. I still remember first time when I actually moved to event slightly advanced level. From basic 100 line code to a full stack project was nightmare. I looked through examples and everything went over mind. But with experience things changed. Go explore the code.
      Another best thing nowadays are LLMs and Code pilots. They do brilliant job in explaining the code. You can ask explanation for each part you don’t understand. And please don’t think that codepilots or AI will make your life easier in making projects. They can certainly write code but broken. Instead, when working on your project, gather idea from it for small modules, components and functionality. Integrating them all together is still your job.

    Indians are doing software programming for ages. But over these years, saw very little shareware or free programs developed by Indians.
    Most of the Indian software engineers are salary workers. Don't go beyond that unless paid. However there are few exceptions.This has been like that for more than 25 years.
    Most of the Indians programmers work in database, banking etc, where they can copy old code and re-develop.
    Very less people work on real engineering, space, aeronautics, gaming, effects for films etc. (these are like surgeon specialists)
    So I do not expect much from Indian programmers even now. (some may not like what I say, nevertheless ...

    I think focusing on just Indians makes it sound a bit biased, there's developers all around the world doing the exact same thing, the only reason why Indians are being singled out here is because there's many of them, which makes it more noticeable to the rest of the world. Great video though, I just wanted to clarify that most of developers definitely don't specifically blame Indians for doing this.

    I've done some work helping maintain a repo, and we've had "typo" PRs that "corrected" actually correct English into incorrect English. It did shed light on that, while correct, the wording was a bit more "native level" than it needed to be, but I think it's probably not a great idea to do Typo PRs if you aren't very good at the language, or it isn't a very clear typo.

    If you want to be a software engineer, make your own projects. In today’s market companies are looking for innovative people creating something from scratch rather than doing something that’s already done. If a lot of people are doing something it just makes you like everyone else be different. Believe me making something from scratch is way harder than contributing to any open source.

    Harkirat bhaiya, you took this blame responsibility with dignity. Personally i dont find you to get this blame, you always adviced all of us from the start that make quality contributions, opensource is hard, take your time to understand codebase, learn on the go, pick an issue and try to solve it on your own.
    Rather pushing us to create PRs on updating readme files or correcting spelling, or just for sake of getting goodies , tshirt and neglecting the whole point of open source contribution.
    I mean we are or upcoming software Engineers who are expected to contribute on the source code, fixing technical errors, adding functionalities, collaborating in discussions on issues and solve problems.
    This is so obvious. I don't think you should take this blame. But still much respect and power to you❤

      They are in it for the money, very few are actually interested in software, I have been learning programming for about a month out of interest, my classmates though are going to pursue CS even though they don't have any interest in it. They are doing so because CS is respected and is known to pay a lot, same goes for all the other branches of engineering here, most people who opt for engineering don't really want it, they just want the possibility of landing a high paying job, ignoring everything else, hence why we have so many unemployable engineers who did the bare minimum to graduate and can't actually do any meaningful work.
