Dabbling with React @ React India 2019: A Tweet story

Lush green trees, monsoon weather, soul cooling winds coming from the tumultuous waters of the beach where sounds of waves splashing over the dry sand can be heard by people walking by. Now, just imagine a tech conference on a piece of software that powers almost half of the web today at the place that I just described. How could you stop yourself? I couldn’t. Here’s a brief twitter story of my adventures at React India....

My journey with ALiAS : From a commit to the community

Becoming a Debian Maintainer in 90 days!

NOTE: I know this should have been posted long, long back :( However, life happened and I couldn’t. Anyway, here it goes.. I started contributing to open source around a year back and on 1st January 2019 to Debian, specifically (wasn’t really a new year resolution, though :P). I’ll be honest here.
