it's just radio frequency communication. I know all the stuff that
Yeah. And you know, I know this, like the beginning of this year, beginning of
goes on between your phone and the cell phone tower, that radio communication,
2021. I remember you telling me that man, if there's one thing I want out of
so it's just radio frequency communication stuff. And there is somebody who
started an open source project, to do analysis for this form of engineering. And
I decided I will just go and write something there. I mean, my first
contribution was very hard. For me, it was a lot of effort. And the first time
around, I was like, oh, man, this is so hard. And I never did my next
contribution for quite a while, then I decided, let me just do it. Again, I know
how to do this stuff. Why don't I just go? Why am I worried about the
programming part of it? If it's wrong, people will tell me it's wrong. You know,
it's, what's the big thing, I'm going to go fix it after that. People tell me
I'm wrong. Great. I'll go learn out of it. And so now I've gotten into open
source development, which is very rewarding for me. And I'm getting better at
programming and stuff to the win-win. So never hold back and think what you
know, is less.
this year is I want to contribute to an open source project, right. And it was
very clear from you're looking at your face, it was very clear that even though
those these words came out of your mouth, I could see your face and you didn't
believe that it will happen this year, it was very clear that you didn't believe
you said this is what I want, but you didn't believe it would happen. And it
just since you had this idea in the mind, and you saw this, okay, small little
openings in here, this project makes sense. Since something in you made you seek
this project out, this whole thing manifested.
And what else I should say is that now that I got familiar with the workflow
that a lot of people are using out there, to develop software, and I kind of got
into it, because I had to, I wanted to contribute to this open source project. I
actually use this approach and all the stuff I learned by doing open source
contributions at my workplace, and that people really loved at my workplace. So
I didn't want to do open source contribution, because I'm going to become a
better at my job or something like that. But it so happened, that what project I
started ended at work by myself, because I got the experience from this other
thing was super well received this year. And it really helped out career wise,
too. So sometimes it's all about doing things and things connect in ways that
you don't imagine. If you never try doing something, then the connection would
never be made in your mind. You know, you don't get some ideas if you don't try
a few things. So I mean, always try those
