Session
Ever looked at the code in an open-source project and thought, “Those contributors are way too talented, my little PR would be meaningless”? Or maybe you’ve opened a repository, seen thousands of lines of code, and decided it was too complex to even find a bug to fix?
I hear you — because I’m one of you. I’m not a brilliant engineer pushing thousands of lines of code every day, nor a famous blogger with thousands of followers.
But in this talk, I’ll share my story about how some of my open-source projects and security research led to new networks, collaborations, recognition, and how you can start contributing to the open-source ecosystem, no matter your experience level. You don’t need to be a hero to make an impact.
