As a grade 12 student currently applying to CS, I find your videos extremely useful. I hope you can reach a larger audience base. But you got me as a fan!

I have that star wars poster on your wall, but on a mug.

How should I get started with open source???

[@JasonGoodison]

great question. I'm really biased here cause I actually own and operate an open-source project. I have a whole video on on it even how to get your local development environment set up. What it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGZeJ-AfKaKqJo set up local dev: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIjWf3ibqr2Gn6M

Can't believe this video have only 457 views...sad 😢

[@JasonGoodison]

Better than 456, I guess But I appreciate the comment. I suppose the #1 thing you can do to help is share with friends if you enjoyed it

[@varunmore7232]

@@JasonGoodison sure...even I texted you on discord for some help

Step 1: Make github repo Step 2: Give up

[@JasonGoodison]

Even better - just put "Work In Progress" on your resume and never start
