I completed @hacktoberfest 2025!
If you had asked me a month ago whether I'd be contributing to six open source projects, I would have laughed and said, "Nice joke."
However, I learned and managed to contribute by solving small issues in responsive design and accessibility, which many developers often overlook.
Here's what I learned:
- I contributed to seven projects in total.
- I learned to read and test others' code to identify vulnerabilities.
- I practiced using Git.
- I built my confidence.
The result: I completed the challenge and received six badges and one T-shirt as a reward. (The T-shirt is awarded to the first 10,000 people who complete Hacktoberfest.)
I'm so happy, and I want to thank Tom from Scrimba for providing the link on the @scrimba Discord. Without his mention, I might not have known about this opportunity.
I look forward to contributing to open source and participating in next year's Hacktoberfest!

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Anyone pursuing computer science or any kind of engineering should play Factorio.
This game is for all the nerds out there.

I made my first Linked List node in python and to be honest I'm really happy as I went from the theory to the practicing by building it in the python

Day 207 of Coding
Today I took a break from React and went back to the backend path. I completed some challenges, and then I thought, “maybe I should make a random project in Python,” so I started building Tic Tac Toe in Python.
I know Python is much easier to understand, but I still found it hard to build hahaha—maybe because I’ve been using React the past few days, or I’m just so used to JavaScript.
But I started it. This project is just to practice Python and nothing else.

Day 206 of Coding
I spent the first hour today learning the backend path. Somewhere along the way, I started thinking I’d rather move to backend hahaha—but I’ve already made good progress.
For the second hour, I spent time working on the habit tracker project. I worked on the key and name so that when a new item is added, it pushes to the array and only renders the new thing using React’s internal virtual DOM.
I’m thinking of making the UI more functional: I’ll add useEffect and mount the array items so it only renders when we click the submit button.
Overall, I learned a lot, and I can finally explain the stuff.

Day 205 of Coding
I started working on the first component of my Habit Tracker React project.
Using useState, I can add input and preview what’s being added. Later this week, I’ll update it with a remove (cross) button so users can delete a task, or tap a check mark when it’s completed.
I’ll do the styling as I build the project.

I spent more time on React Router, and honestly, I like the documentation. It’s easy to digest and learn.
I think as I get more comfortable with React, I’ll explore more of the other stuff too—and I think it’ll make me more hirable.
Other than that, let’s see how it goes.

Day 203 of Coding
I spent time understanding useState and useEffect more, and decided to build a project called the Smart Habit Tracker.
It’s a beginner-level project focused on simple features: add/delete tasks, a streak counter, and saving data to local storage.
For the project, I used ChatGPT to generate a flow—an overview and a mental model to guide me while building.
For components, I’ll be using HabitForm, HabitList, HabitItem, and a progress bar.
I’ll share progress each day as I build this project.
